Explain this one to me?
I cut mine down 2" and I can definitely tell you the throw is shorter. And I am $140 richer too![/QUOTE]
Okay, I may have been on some substances this weekend, but let me give a more intelligent explaination of what I meant. (It was a long weekend)
Okay, I retract the longer statement and replace it with Uncomfortable and Awkward. The stock shifter has a different pivot point angle (that I am positive of)... The B+M is set up to be a more comfortable as well as shortend throw.
Even if I am on crack, I think that you could see that the solid construction and aluminum pivot point are a worth while improvement. It is disgusting that Ford attempted to build a "Sports Sedan" worthy of an entry level Bimmer, yet left the sloppiest shifter and linkage that they could produce, in place. Cut down or not, it is still a crappy set up... IMHO.
Oh, and thanks for calling me out Stazi! Now everyone is aware of my habits.
(How the hell are you, BTW?)
