b&m *HEIGHT*

[240SxTYLE]

from what i can get out of my search the b&m ss are the only ss that have adjustable height... i was wondering if anyone can tell me how much the shifter drops and if its adjustable.

thank you in advance,
jayson

Its not height adjustable.

[Naro182]

how much of a drop from stock?

like badmojo said, i don't believe the b&m short shifter is shorter, height-wise. it's the same as stock height.

[SilviaDriver]

the B&M juss has the shortest throw in every direction side to side and up and down..but if u want the shortest throw and shortest height..cut the B&M haha

[sr20driver]

I just put the B&M in tonight, and mine is just a little shorter than my stock height.

[BadMoJo]

I would say that its a decent amount shorter than stock. It doesnt look tall.

But its that feel that really matters. If you just want it to look short then just cut the stock one.:rolleyes:

[240 2NR]

If it is shorter, it isn't by much. The stock boot seems to fit normal and dropping on the stock shift knob makes everthing look stock (the part the boot sits on is the same size on the b&m).

It's defiently a shorter throw and it's a much firmer unit and a vast improvment over stock, though it won't really be much shorter, a half inch at beats is my estimation.

When you installed your did you have to drop the tranny? or could you access all the bolts through the shifter hole?

[Steeles]

didnt drop the tranny. coming out you can get a wrench in to the front two bolts easy enough. now getting to those same two bolts with the B&M in place is a PITA I couldnt really do it and I was using a ratcheting wrench. I finally jacked up the car and reached around the tranny from underneath and finger tightened them. I am of course now missing one of those bolts. if this install took me two hours an hour and a 15 minutes of that was spent trying to get those bolts in and out, 15 minutes getting tools and removing center console and 5 minutes for pictures...

hey guys thanks for all your replies. the only reason why i asked is because i have a momo shift knob and because i put it on my knob now sits higher than the little cubby hole thingy underneath the radio =\... it looks like a truck shifter.

i wanted to get a ss for its obvious benefits, but i also was hoping that it sit lower too. i dont want to have to cut the stock shifter because iirc its not good for the tranny and your throw feels very labored. i know i've seen a pic of a cut shifter before but i cant find it in the search. does... or will anyone admit to having a cut shifter? how does it feel?

does anyone know of a "shorter" shifter that also provides also provides a shorter throw?

well thanks for the help,

I had to pound the crap out of it to get it to go one (that little rubber cap thing for the knob was a tight squeeze) but it went on fine and is no taller than my regular shifter

[DuffMan]

speaking of b&m's has anyone found a way to get them to stop rattling at high rpm?

Mine's starting to bug me.

I have a cut pilotmotorsports shifter..Love it! don't have any pics though...

[Steeles]

(which are moved to the outside spots) and I cant seem to find my ashtray... I think Jason has it.... wait actually I think thats BEFORE the B&M.... cuz i had my spin turn knob on when I did the B&M... crap hang on lets see.... (note to self.. take new interior pictures)

I don't have a b&m but I have the OBX short shifter and it was rattling at higher rpms. To make it stop, I just put some teflon tape around the shift knob threading and wala! no more rattle.

[240SxTYLE]

steeles you are [email protected] right that there is nothing better than free... the universal exhuast on the back of my car was free and from her too :D.

im just hoping that theres a free turbo inline for me :p
