My gf got me the shift knob, tomei duracon. when i put it on the stock shifter it was pretty damn high. So i ordered a b&m ss from work. it was only $200 employee discount is awsome lol. i installed the ss in like an hour and a half. half an hour was spent under the car trying to get the 2 front bolts off, it was a pain, but once i figured how to angle the open-end it didnt take too long. putting the b&m in was easier than taking the stock off. i took it for a spin after and the first thing i notice is it whines in first. its not too loud, but you can hear it. it goes away after getting into the other gears. it places everything so close together, i love it!!

you know it rattles only in first gear, but its not even noticable. when the stereo is on you dont even notice it.

Mine makes a racket... If you gun it in 1st or 2nd its loud... So I keep my hand on it and its quiet...

If you drive normal... You should never notice...

But who ever sits in my side seat is like... " What the hell was that "

I dont even notice anymore...

yeah i remember reading some of the earlier post about the b&m's, they made lots of noise. then there was a revised version to minimize the noise, so i guess that is the one i got.
