picked one of these up last week. i had a B&M for several years that i was never really too excited about. anyways, a few pics and an initial review.

installation: easy as pie, took about 35 minutes. after i received it (1 day from order confirmation to my front door, thanks ottp for prompt service) i put some white lithium grease on the contact spots and popped it in. the how-to posted by TWM helps a bit also. after a couple minimal cable adjustments, each gear engaged correctly.

looks/feel: looks awesome, although i think i'll probably polish the stainless knob in the near future. it's a real smooth, weighty feel when shifting. i also have the upgraded lnf cable brackets, which help. the reverse lockout spring is pretty stout, which took a day of getting used to. as far as the actual throw, it feels about the same as the B&M, although i don't typically rip through gears when there's 3 inches of snow on the ground so i haven't tried that out yet.

overall: big time upgrade over the B&M imo, extremely happy with my purchase. i would recommend this shifter to anyone that asked.

a few pics:

night time (maybe not as useful but still cool)

 

Looks great!

 

I could never get another shifter with a knob of stainless or aluminum. Way too hot in the summer and way too cold in the winter. Where the delrin at.

 

It looks good- what are the differences in throws like?

 

Ooooooo I'm excited for mine, coming in the mail tomorrow

 

you are correct, it has not warmed up yet since i installed it 5 days ago ha. winter driving gloves fix that problem though. delrin is available too, i just didn't want to wait for it.

i went from the b&m to this, so i can't really compare the difference from a stock shifter. feels about the same as the b&m, just way smoother.

 

you should focus your review more about the product itself and what it does rather than comparing.

 

looks really nice, shifts really nice, very very comfortable, maybe a little more $$ than others.

better?

 

So what was wrong with you B&M to make it a big upgrade going Ottp? I loved my B&M on mah jbody. Besides the heat/cold issue with my choice of knob.

 

nothing was wrong with it, worked well for several years. i never really like the shift knob, just wanted something bigger and heavier, that's all.
