B&M Shifter or FVD and why??

 

I think the concensus around here is B&M.

 

I have B&M and love it...IF you want a firm, tight shift which does take a little more effort than most.

I also have an Evo and it does not reduce the throw enough, nor did it tighten up the feel enough.

Sorry, never tried an FVD.

 

B&M...under car kit!! See this thread for details:

i went with the oem ... for an extra 100 dollars i wont have to worry about the dealership giving me a hard time if anything happens to my tranny or the shifter itself. just for peice of mind ... best part about it is that it feels just like the stock shifter except with a shorter throw

 

I just did the B&M as well as the X73 suspension. It is a totally different car! Very solid. I feel like I got a new car.

 

I agree with your thinking, but I think the OEM (which is made by B&M)costs around $800 vs. $200 for the B&M plus about an hour's labor if you don't DIY. That's about a $500 dollar savings vs. OEM.

BTW, its the best $200 you'll spend on your car. It will totally change the your driving pleasure. It's truly pathetic that the short shifter is not standard. I mean, who wouldn't want one?

 

Agreed. Best mod for the money. Puts the stock plastic one to shame. Somehow makes the whole car feel more solid.

 

talk to arling ... its not a 500 savings

including install i think it came out to a difference of 200between the 2

i paid the extra money for peice of mind

remember your not driving a honda

porsche can be a stickler on warranty work if your not careful

 

Don't underestimate the warrenty issue since Porsche's have weak trannys.

 

I have the FVD and have driven both the B&M and Porsche SSK. Here is my take...FVD is a bit longer throw than then both of those... It is less notchy than the B&M and about the same notchy as Porsche SSK....
I can get you any of the above if you like...my price on the Porsche SSK is pretty hard to beat...and as for the FVD...yea you won't beat my price
PM me if interested...

PS-So bascially I like the Porsche SSK a bit better (SHHHH don't tell my boss), but the FVD is MUCH cheaper...

 

Happy with the B&M in car.

 

OEM. You can find one on eBay, usually, for about $300.

 

OEM, for some reason it felt better than the B&M. With the OEM the whole shift console is replaced. With the B&M I think you have to replace the shift mechanism in the console.

 

OEM.
