Oh, I have a TWM installed. I was just hoping someone would add it to the comparo. It was expensive, but Ive been happy with it. I would like to try out the B&M though, i dont know which one has a shorter shift.

i had the same issue. how'd you remedy it?

I used regular pliers and a flat head screwdriver.

Its a very nice shifter. It firms everything up and highlights how mushy the stock bushing is. Def requires the urethene or cs bracket.

i used like 4 different sets of pliers, that godamn snap ring, but finally got it...i cant believe the differnance between the stock and b&m....


ive also got the es bushing that goes at the end of the shifter rod(behind trans) but could not install it cuz i have es mm inserts and there was no clearance between to mm insert and the es shiftetr insert...i dont have to take off the crossmember to install it do i???

Does the B&M use the stock bolt at the bottom, the bolt that connects the shift rod to the shift fork?

The TWM ditches the stock bolt for a very skinny allen head bolt with a plastic locking nut, and special washers.

Yes fonque.

Some models require the use of the supplied spacers, but it does reuse the stock bolt/nut combo.

Well, lets lay off the eBAY guy for a while because he has gone from 79.95 to ... 99.95 (!!!) on the B&M!

Hopefully, one or 2 "failed" auctions may bring it down to 79.95 again....
