hi, im looking for a B&M short throw shift kit. it seems that the item is been discontinued, but if anyone seems to know someone or have one and trying to get rid of, message me please. thanks,
p.s. must be part number 45129 that fits 2002-10/2004 production date i think based on b&m site

 

bumpty. sucks it's been discontinued :/

 

There are quite a few from Megan and Ralco on Ebay that were the same as the B&M

i seen those before, i just never heard of reviews about them. Helix was recommended, but was just that small arm piece not the whole kit(bushings, washers, etc..)

 

I am using the Helix one for over 2 years with no issues. It did make a difference.

 

Ours does come with bushings included, just in case you were wondering.



The helix model does the job well also, but I agree with the OP it is a different animal than a full shifter replacement.

(pricing, location, etc. is incorrect above)

 

is the 1/2inch wobble still there?, B&M site claim their product will reduce the wobble alot. I did some research and megan is an exact copy of b&m, no reviews though from anyone.

 

I would go with craven speed shifter at a heart beat if i knew it would fit the earlier 1st gen models (02-03) NOT 04-06. My car is the earlier production models with the white housing not the black housing :/
