i've had my shifter for over 15k miles and i love the throw. i drift and road race with it. just slightly annoying rattle under WOT, but i see why so many people have issues with it.

I had the B&M short shifter version 1 which is very hard to get into 6th gear. I returned it with the reciept, so they sent me the Version 2 which didn't have any problem except the rattle noise. I used stock ***, and there was one day i decided to twist it a little bit harder so maybe i could get the rattle noise off. Guess what happened ? The shifter broke off, and the little top of the shifter stick in the ***, I had to buy some tool at home depot to get that thing out. Returned it and got a new one which is still in my garage. So if anyone plan to install the B&M shifter, becareful, dont twist it too hard. The shifter is made by aluminium, not steel like the stock one.

This stylized precision shifter includes many of the key features found in race shifters including a stainless steel stick assembly, machined aluminum pivot.
The pivot is black anodized machined aluminum--the stick is steel. You either cranked that thing on with tremendous torque or had a defective stick.

Just to add-- I removed all the boots and exposed the pivot today. The rattle that eveyone is getting is coming from the pivot smacking against the sides of the transmission case "cup" and the underside of the blue spacer supplied with the B&M. The looseness of the pivot in the transmission housing also causes some unecessary slop in the system--although less than stock. I called B&M tech support today to report the design defect--basically too small a diameter pivot housing--or lack of rubberized isolation of metal to metal contact. Tech support was great and, hopefully, the design guys will take another look at this. I told B&M that lots of folks on the board were complaining about rattling.
