short throw shifter

Any input from peeps with the short throw shifters? What brands are peeps using and did it really make a big difference that you would recommend the mod? The stock shifter definitely has some long throws. Oh yeah, my wife thinks I'm nuts for wanting to pull off all of the stock stuff seeing as I just picked up the car a day ago.

B&M seems to be fairly popular with the people on this forum.

I had my B&M ordered from GTODEALER before I even bought the car.

Definetly B&M. It makes a significant difference. No missed shifts and about 40% shorter.

I got my B&M from GTODEALER too. Best advice I have is use locktite on all bolts during install. I am very happy with it.... I wish I did it sooner. I have had ZERO issues with the new shifter.

FYI --- Suppossedly HARROP makes a pretty nice on too... I have not tried though. But according to the Aussiesit is VERY good.

does it change the way it looks? I want to keep the same shifter knob and cover. How hard is the install?
