Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Like it alot! You'll be amazed at how much your throws are shortened. Sometimes mine is alittle notchy from neutral to 1st gear but all other gears are smooth and precise. Well worth doing the upgrade.
I drove my student's TT this past weekend at Pocono with the B&M shifter for 2 laps. The throw is very short and precise. I like it very much. The only draw back is that it is not easy to get in 1st and reverse when cold.
zblue i bet you drove jasons car i was at pocono also last weekend JAS
Yes, it was Jason's car. Jason mentioned that he has a web site but I forgot to ask the URL for the site. Do you know?
no i dont know the URL sorry
I have had mine for about 4K miles and love it, it has much shorter throws vs. stock. The complaints about not feeling good going into first are true with mine as well, I just think it is different and takes some time to get use to. It also has a much heaver feel to it, requires a little more effort which I actually like. I would highly recommend it to anyone.
I installed my B&M Shifter kit early this year and I'm very happy with shortened throw. I do have to agree that 1st is tight when the car is cold.
