has anyone used this or heard any reviews???

apparently it is WAY cheaper than the mazdaspeed one which i was considering buying, but the mazdaspeed one ive heard only great things about.

 

It's great.
By any means, buy it. I bought it from Bottle.
The shifter is a bit shorter, but a lot firmer. Never missed a gear ever, even 5th.
Installs about an hour with simple tools.

 

I've got it and love it. It's a lot louder though, but i deal with it.

anyone used both that can compare the two??

or do any mazdaspeed (C's) short shifter owners have anything to say??

 

The B&M is shorter than the Mazda. It also has springs to center the stick.

Go with the B&M.

Later, Jeff

BTW: Ask Jason at the store he has had both and now has the B&M.

 

I have the B&M and it's a quality piece, cheap and easy to install

 

I've it. Noisy though because they replace part of the housing for the shifter with a CNC milled piece. There is no rubber or plastic piece to act as a bearing bushing for the shifter so all noise goes right through. I've used a Mazdatrix and it's not as tight but little or no gear whine noise. Oh well.
