i have the B&M short shifter. got mine for 160 delivered. i was disappointed to find that the shifter is not a true short throw but only a shorter stick; however it is indeed a slick shifter and dramatically improves the feel of the shifts. the stock knob does fit on the B&M and the boot is secured with a zip tie just like the stock shifter. i would recommend the B&M for an upgrade but next time im gettin a steeda which is lengthened past the pivot point makin it a true short throw. i wish u luck in gettin this GB goin and i hope it succeeds.


I've driven a contour with a B&M and it def. gives it shorter throws....



the only thing short on the B&M is the handle. it may feel shorter, but the throw itself is no shorter. the throw can only be shortened if the part of the shifter between the pivot point and the end where it connects to the shifter cable is extended. on the B&M it is not extended. NEXT....
