So I'm at Hot August Nights in Reno this year and I went to the Big Boy's Toys store...Holy crap they had some cool stuff there, as well as two hot models, but I digress...

So, I stopped in at the B&M booth to ask them if they had their short shifter for the 05+ Mustangs out yet...Sure enough they do, and the actually had one on display. Felt like a nice solid unit (but I would expect no less from B&M). The rep said he had one on his 05 and gave it a thumbs up, but I would like some opinions from those that aren't paid to say it is nice. It also appears to be a steal at $200 through Summit Racing, compared to the $250+ for some of the other shifters.

I couldn't find any reviews when searching, so if anyone has any input that would be great.

 

Any input????

 

I have only known one person that had a B&M on a S197 and they changed it out for a Pro 5.0. According to him the Pro 5.0 was a lot better.
Sorry, that's the closest thing I have to any experience with one.

 

You would honestly want your shifter shorter?

IMO.. you get any shorter you'll have a ball sticking out of a hole, and it'll be a ***tch around town. Not like this is an 03 mustang with that foot long pole sticking out the trany.

 

Ummm....short THROW....the height is about the same....

 

Short throw that I've installed was a Roush and not a B&M.Very nice unit.Shifting is quick and precise.
I had put a B&M shifter on my old Vette(6 speed).I found it to be very stiff,when shifting.I helped define the gate pattern on the car.Assuming the B&M is a simular set up for the Mustang,then it may be a bit stiffer running through the gears.B&M would be my 2nd choice.It is a well made unit.A lot of people recommend it.

 

[sm=funnypostabove.gif][sm=icon_beat.gif] I want my shifter so short that I have to stick my finger in the trany to shift. Guess you have to spell it out all the time on here.
