Default Anyone local with a B&M short Shifter? free lunch lol!

I recently picked up a B&m short shifter before i read a whole lot on it. Im pretty hesitant to install with all the bad reviews. Anyone that has on one on there car in OC/inland empire area care to let me swing by and go for a ride with ya around the block and shift it once or twice.

I'd really appreciate it, Ill throw in some fast food on me

We have the B&M short shift in our car, we picked it up used a while ago and only complaint is its hard to get into 5th gear the first few times until you get used to it. The shifter goes too far right and you have to bring it back a little then push up into 5th. But like I said we got ours used so im not sure if this is a common problem or not. Other than that it works great not as drastic of a difference as I thought it would be, but it still feels good and shorter than stock.

if it goes too far to the right, then you need to realign the guide plate.
