Ok, so I ordered a brand new B&M short shifter on Tuesday morning.

I sent a best offer of $175 and they accepted! So I payed $176.50 shipped with insurance! They shipped it out the same day and I received it yesterday (Friday). I had it installed and ready to go in less than an hour and I must admit, for $175, it is probably the best, NOTICEABLE, modification I've done in a while. Like I've seen everywhere I read, B&M says it shortens the throw 33%, honestly I think 50% is more reasonable. My old shifter felt all mushy in and out of gears and had alot of free play and now it is tight tight tight. You know, tight like a tiger. With that being said, buy a B&M dont waste money on the fakes. It freakin rocks!

Yea, I got a B&M a few weeks ago and love it.

The throw is short and its really firm. Zero slop.

They are model specific to an extent. The SR and KA use the same model, but RB is different (although a KA/SR unit can be modded to fit).
