As the title states, looking for an alternative to the B&M shifter.

 

I want to see some installed pics of it if anyone has it.

 

I don't think the shifter is shipping untill the beginning of May. That is what I was told . Aaron at TurboTech may be able to confirm or disagree.

 

because of build quality the shifter is on definite delay. ..

 

Exactly.... They said they have some bends to work out... LOL
This was their exact words...

 

This is definitely the shifter I will be going with once it's released. Here's another link in case someone hasn't seen it (copy and paste in browser, then scroll down)

Part number 3914040. If anyone knows where to order one from, let us know!
As far as I know, noone has this?

 

Looks like a b+m shifter to me. Personally im going to go with that twm or tmw whatever it is :P

 

I know you can preorder them through TurboTech Racing. They are on their website.

 

I've still got a ship date of 10APR06 from SummitRacing.com
If I get mine prior to release to TTR I'll take tons of pics.

 

Awesome, but i doubt it will ship until about May 5th

 

True...

 

i heart my b&m best mod ive ddone in terms of how the car feels

 

Do you have any pics of the B&M vs stock?

 

i rather go with B&M but thats just me but once its out and ppl give there verdic on it then i might chnage mine...

 

The B&M feels nice, I drove Dan's with it in. Moves the shifter forward quite a bit. That was the most noticable difference for me. I can't wait for my Hurst to get here though. Then we'll have a better side-by-side comparison.

 

I figure they use the B&M in the cup cars...its good enough for mine. How about U let me tryout the stage 2+ and lightweight flywheel and you can try out my B&M at IDD7?

 

The B&M is oooooook , I am still kinda underwhelmed :shrugs: The throws are shorter and it the shifter itself feels solid ....it doesnt feel like Im gonna break the stick powershifting anymore ....but

**Ive never had a car with a remote mount cable operated shifter , so maybe the gripes about the B&M are not correctable and will just remain a trait of the Cobalts shift set up , someone more knowledgeable than me about the cobalts shifter set up would have to chime in there **

- In any given gear , I can still wiggle the stick from side to side a little
-Going thru the gears its better than stock , but its still imprecise imo
-Throws , while shorter than stock are still kinda long IMO
-still feels like Im shifting a video game somewhat .

I sat in new Civic Si and went thru the gears , it felt VERY precise and mechanical . If I didnt know it , I woulda thought the shifter was mounted on the trans . I want that positive feeling in my SS .

There is a QUITE a difference in shifter feel from shifter to shifter in the F-body world , hopefully the new Hurst 1 ups the B&M . Ultimately though , I hope the aftermarket goes beyond the shifter though too
