B&M Short shifter advice
 
Im looking for a Short throw shifter. On a pretty low budget so the B&M short shifter looks good for the price. Ive seen a few product reviews on this and it seems worth the money to me but what im really looking for is advice on what to go with it. Bushings and what not. Im a noob and not sure what all is needed for this. If im gunna take the time to do this id like to do it right and do any other modifications i can while ive got that area torn apart ya know? So if i can get anyone input and advice id greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance guys!

kapitaljf is a spammer, dont click on anything in his post.

a mod will delete him soon.

and I'm not sure about your question... I think the shifter comes with new bushings, but I could be wrong...

I have the B&M single bend short shifter on my race car, I love it. Very smooth and sturdy shifter.

While you're doing this work, you might as well replace you shifter bushings. Energy Suspension sells a shifter bushings kit for a good price. Makes a bit of a difference, I'd recommend it.

Thanks guys, Sorry i made that sort of confusing. My problem was/is that the online stores that im finding werent giving a good description of what came with the item other than the fact that i was getting a B&M short throw shifter haha. I wanted to check if bushings was a good idea and what kinda to put in but Civicexracer answered that pretty good for me so hopefully friday when the paycheck goes through ill be able to find everything online and get it ordered. One thing im curious about is if I get a new shifter will i have to get a new shift knob to fit it? And also are there any specialty tools required in taking apart the existing one and installing the new one?

No need for a new shift knob if you don't want one. The threads on the aftermarket shifters match stock. No specialty tools needed either. Basic tool kit will get the job done.
