I don't believe the cables are threaded.
brad, this is kinda what I suspected, except mine did it from the beginning.
Also, an interesting thought is that I have a 2000 car built in the middle of the run (#1065) and I actually have the Aluminum shifter base like the E0 cars.
Anshutz, I have seen a few other cars w/ the same problem (I know PhattSpatt's car and another guy's car do it)
It's all about balance.

What I mean is the stick itself, just above the pivot ball, hits the mounting block (the support part around the mounting ball) on shifts into second, sometimes 4th.
Does this happen to anyone else? If I try to shift hard into second, it won't let it "pop" unless I hold it there for a second. I just think you need to try and shift better. :p

Oh do you?
4th never gives me a problem, but I psych myself out because 2nd feels TOO short sometimes. Maybe it's the same thing.

Like when I am driving aggressivley I will shift to 2nd, but in my head I am thinking "that didn't go in" so I end up easing off the clutch to check if it did shift right, only to find that it DID go in.  Unerving as I'd hate to hear the sounds of gear grinding.

When I installed the B&M my shifter was also hitting the metal base when shifting to 2nd. 4th gear is fine. I just took the metal base back out and ground some of it down with a dremel,just where the shifter touches the base.Now the shifter will only lightly tap the base only when shifting aggresive.Normal shifting=no hitting.
