Here's some more. I believe the B&M shifters can also retain the stock **** which should mean you could a Whalen **** on their shifter. Does anyone have a definite yes or no on that?

I have a B&M shifter, stock ****. But I'm thinking of getting a wood one from this vendor.

Besides the shorter throw, the height of the **** feels better also. When I drive my wifes 05 Cabrio with the OEM shifter, I feel like my hand is up around my ear, and about 1/4 mile rolls by as I move the shifter.

I don't think Mack truck, throws are short in most semis, but more like a tractor out plowing under corn stalks

Semi clutches are surprisingly crisp... I tried to (unsuccessfully) drive one once... and I noted how short the throws were, right before I killed the engine. I would say more 24-foot U-Haul truck as far as the shifter throw goes!

thats a definite yes, ive had this combo for two years and its awesome.....id even go so far as to say that the b&m requires a heavy whalen ****....i was running the b&m with a stock **** for a short time before the whalen and it is pretty difficult....

Craven Speed has a **** adapter for $3 with our shift kit that allows you to fit the Whalen or OEM ****.
