Damn dude... you move fast... :) I think B&M shifters are around $150 (I think) and can be found at www.ptuning.com. (again, I think).

Yup, I got it. As a matter of fact it was my first mod. I love it. Some people have debated whether or not it is a true short shifter. I won't argue over technicalities but, it does everything it claims to do. It is much shorter than the stock one. So much shorter that every time I look at a stock one I am amazed at how much out of proportion it appears to me. Compared to the B&M, shifting from 4th to 5th with the stock shifter feels like your reaching for the glove box. It's also much stiffer so the shifts feel more precise. I originally got my from Kurtz Kustomz but that was over a year ago. It doesn't appear that they have it anymore, though.
cool, thanks a lot guyz,,,i think im going to do it,,but i have to find someone to put it in...if ya know of anyone that does that sort of stuff let me know...

The install would be a breeze if it wasn't for the @#$%& retaining clip! Except for that step, it was utterly painless.

I just got the B&M shifter last week. Took my 6 year old little brother and me about 30 minutes to install it. The most difficult part was putting the roll pin though a hole in the shifter. I am very pleased with the results--look and feel is top notch! Cheapest retail price is Ptuning.com with the NECO discount code (PTNECOCLUB), but you may want to check eBay.
i have a b&m, it rules.. i 100% agree with chuck's summary on it!
