B&M Short Shifter

[kidzero81]

Anyone know where I can get a good deal on this? optauto.com is selling it for $200 (shipping not included)

[annunziato39]

around that price is about as good as you're going to get it. I got mine for just about $220 shipped off ebay.

I sent Pilot Automotive an e-mail about their SS. This is the reply.

"Dear Andy: Pilot Automotive referred your e-mail on to our company. We can sell you the PM-313 for $125.99 plus shipping. If you would like to order this item you can call us toll free at 877-453-7697. Sincerely, LeRoy's Motorsport Accessory Center"

Is this a good price? If so, maybe I could ask if they would do a group discount.

125.99 for a B&M is a GREAT PRICE. there are places that sell it for almost twice as much.

[kidzero81]

No no, that's the price for a Pilot Automotive Short Shifter. Shoot, if that was the price for a B&M, everyone here would all over it.

i don't see a big deal why short shifter that would cost so much. $200 for something like that. probably production cost is like $15.

hmm...i'm sticking with my stock one, i rather spend the money on other area....but that's just me.

[matt4pl]

i dunno, B&M shifters are so sexy though.... ive felt other short shifters and stock shifters and NOTHING compares. i think i might need to take a trip to an exotic car dealer to find something similar. it may be $200, but its like putting a ferrari shifter in a 240.

[Dattebayo]

i dont know about you, but i hate ferrari shifters. Gated shifters belong on an Italian car, and should STAY there. Unless you have noticed a difference in the shifting (meaning that the B&M is shorter than the competition), i see no reason to spend more on it.

[kidzero81]

It's just a matter of preference. I prefer the short shifter. I went from stock, to a short shift adapter, to a short shifter. It feels a whole lot easier to shift and a whole lot smoother to boot. Has anyone tested both the P.A SS and the B&M SS? I want to hear some opinions before I make a decision.

i found one on ebay but the description calls for an SR20 powered machine, but the part number is 45088....i checked optauto.com and got a part number of 45088 also...should the one from ebay work on my car (non SR20)?

here's a link to both....

Hmmm, I would think that the B&M shifter should work with the KA's. Can anyone put truth to this?

[rousie13]

The B&M's work with both the KA transmission and SR transmission. It bolts up to both transmissions without a hitch.

[marshun]

yep yep.

theyre basically the same transmission anyway

[kidzero81]

I found some SS on ebay. OBX SS for about $40. Does anyone have this and does it work well.

[annunziato39]

The B&M is awesome. It isn't really much shorter that stock, about half an inch, or an inch, but the Throw is incredibley short. A world of difference compared to stock.

[TruboostPerformance]

We have the B&M shifter for 197.00

[240dreamer]

cool, bought one just a few minutes ago....exciting. the summer spending spree has begun. intake, now short shifter in less than a week....i'm on a roll

I took a look at the B$M shifter, and i can see why they charge so much. Its got a hell of alot more parts to it than the others...

[kidzero81]

How much would shipping be for the B&M SS to 92869 zip Truboost?

[matt4pl]

most shifters are just the shaft and some misc parts to make it fit in place of the stock one, reducing the throw and all, but with the B&M you get the entire shifter plate with their springs and mechanism inside, making it feel unlike anything else. its really well worth it. and i meant it feels almost as precise as a gated shifter while still being in a boot and all

[TruboostPerformance]

Shippin is $13.00 3 day express,
