B&M Short Shifter for '06 MCS

I have a B&M kit on my '03 MCS and absolutely love it. I would like to install one on my '06 MCS Checkmate, but cannot locate one from traditonal MCS purveyors.

Does anyone know how and where I can get my hands on one for '06 MCS? Prefer a new set, but may settle for a used set.

I'd really appreciate any help

Bahman!
When I saw you are gonna sell your '03 I got worried. I see it was all for naught. No help with the B&M, but there was a fellow selling the air box you need in the market place.

Do you know what the difference between the models are? I have my OEM shifter you are welcome to, maybe we can retro the B&M to the '06?

Ranting....

B&M Shifter

Bryan,

Thank you for your note.

I am going to gradually de-commission the '03 and build up the '06.

I think there is a difference between the early MCS and late ('05-'06) MCS trnasmissions, and that's why the shifters are different. I can try to see if the '03 B&M will fit the '06 car, but this is such a labor-intensive and pain-in-the-butt process that a trial-and-error method would not be feasible.

I saw the ad for the air intake, but it's missing a bottom part, and I am leeriy of buying an incomplete set. You'll never knwo what else is missing.

See you soon,
Bahma

Get a Cravenspeed one it's easier to adjust and will feel just like the B&M

Thnk you, Miniguru. If I cannot get a ZB&M, will consider the Craven solution you've provided.
