Instead of spending $$$$ on the CAE ss, I've been thinking of combining B&M ss with a tall shift **** to it, to emulate the height of the CAE ss. I've searched all over, but haven't seen many people with them. What are my options yall?

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.

The CAE is really tall. To find a **** that will emulate that - not sure you're going to be happy. The short throw of the B&M is going to be negated with a **** that big.

I completely understand the semi-counterintuitive perspective, but my focus is to have the shifter closer to the wheel, like the CAE. If only the CAE unit was affordable
There is a console riser kit on the market now that's pretty damn cool - it raises the entire console up so you don't have that 'unfinished" look that you may not want. http://www.function-first.com/produc...-riser-kit-996 Function First seems to make some pretty good quality stuff... I have their e-brake riser and its good... but then again, its a hunk of threaded metal that's pretty hard to get wrong. lol
I currently have what appears to be a short shifter with a very long throw shift ****/handle. It puts the shifter right next to the wheel, which I thought would be awesome - but the shift action is truly terrible, and I will be removing Meg from my 996. If you want to be Meg's next home, PM.
I currently have the B&M from the PO. What a sloppy piece of ****. Spend the money on the numeric with a riser or the cae and be done with it.
Second the comment on Function First. Great products and classy company. You want a tall shifter? Check out KCAttorney's Meg Griffin thread. :-)
I think there is a group buy going on the CAE shifter right now.....like 900
The B&M is fine for street but felt horrible on the track. I couldn't swap it out with my Numeric fast enough.

Same sentiments exactly. I got rid of my B&M as soon as I could... that thing was sloppy as hell.

Hey. HEY! (OK, I'll admit it: Meg is a shifter only a mother could love)
