Just bought mine from him. So far, so good has returned all my e-mails very quickly and has made everything really easy. Should be getting here in a few days, I'll give you all my review. Everything I have heard about the B&M says that it is awesome and at a great price. Haven't found it anywhere near as cheap.

Klee 215: People say that the B&M feels better and lasts longer than the pacesetter and stillen one. This topic has been covered many times. You can probably find it by doing a simple search. Also at this time, I cannot accept Paypal sorry.

j_wei: Check you PM.

I need 4 more people, remember if you are interested, but do not have the funds available, PM me and we can work something out. This is for serious buyers only though.

sorry, at this time my search feature is also disabled. I will post something as soon as I can, but From what I have heard a lot people are not as satisfied with the stillen or the pacesetter. There have also been complaints that both have also broken over time. There has been no or very little bad reviews on the B&M. With the money you pay for B&M, it is worth it. Everyone that I have sold one to before, has been happy with it. I hope this helps for now.

And... Current 95-01 Short Throw Shifter (STS) options

The main difference between the B&M and other STSs is the B&M replaces the pivot area and seems to be much better quality. My Pacesetter touches the front of the shift cuttout in gears 1-3-5 . The B&M does sit father forward than stock but does not touch the front of the shift cuttout. If I did not already have an STS in my car I would go for the B&M but I really want one that sits in the middle of the shift cuttout like stock. Why can't anyone make a short shifter that sits in the proper position?

Whoops - two more questions:
What's the additional shipping to Canada ($5-10$?). Also, can it be shipped USPS so I can avoid B.S. brokerage fees?
Thanks,
Mike

Blaxxxima: Yes it does come with a shift ****. It also comes with a new pivot point, bushings, decals, and instructions. there is no extra shipping charges so $135.00 USD is the what you paid, but it will take 7-10 days if you add ten more dollars, I can ship it to you in 3-5 days. Also from past experiences, customs will charge you $5 more dollars as taxes, but I am not sure in what funds USD or CND. I hope this answers all your questions.

I think i might be interested. I do have a few questions though. If anyone can hook me up with some answers, I'd appreciate it. Is this something that will be fairly easy to install by yourself, and does this short shifter require you to pound out the heatshield so the shifter doesn't rattle against it? I'm just not sure if I'm comfortable with modifying the heatshield or removing it completely like others who have installed a short shifter. Also is there any chance the shifter can cause premature wear on the tranny or any other components it is connected to? Sorry for all the questions, but I always rely on the org's advice before getting any mods.

A short throw shifter is longer below the pivot point so you will probably have to do something with the heat shield. Sombody used stacks of washers and longer bolts when they reattached the heatshield to lower it instead of banging it out, wish I had heard of that trick before I banged the hell out of mine. But banging out the heatshield is not that big of a deal. The hardest part on the install will probably be dealing with frozen bolts. The bolts on the cat in particular.

A sts should not cause premature wear on the tranny unless it has extreamly short throws, this is only a problem for guys who have the adjustable shifters and set them to the shortest position.

Actually with the B&M nothing needs to be done to the heat shield. It's a perfect fit on the car. Also, as everyone may already be aware, the B&M is not adjustable. However, the throw is pretty short as it is so it's a good modification.

Mine is on the way! I know the throw is shorter but how about the height of the shifter any shorter?
