They are the same product. Read Jason's post on the first page.

I don't think my motor mounts and other stuff are stiff anymore, 109K miles, she's an old lady now, still hanging pretty strong with the new compettitors.

I recall hearing that the B&M shortshifter comes w/ a 5th gear lockout mechanism when shiftin from 2nd to 3rd gear, thus making it impossible to break your 5th gear synchros...any truth to that?

I didnt hear about that.

The only shifter I hear that does the lock-outs is the STILLWAY Shifter, THAT ONE IS AWESOME, if I upgrade or even change thats my next one.

Mahjik,

Sorry about the stupid...I misread the quote under the photo.

The photo certainly answered my question about the height, thanks a bunch.

Stillway shifter,

Does the Stillway version sit (high) up on top of the console? The seq. shifters I've seen look like some kind of gremlin on the console.

That definitely looks a lot better.

I wish I could put my RX-8 **** on it, sort of stupid reason not to get one though.

Stillway is the best, but $$

The reason is, short shifter combined with lock out. For example.....

in 1st it will only let you shift into 2nd, in 2nd it will only let you shift into 3rd and so on.... OF COURSE there is a bypass, just pull up on the lock and you can shift into any gear you want.

Pivot points change in short shifters.

cutting will lower the shift ****...but will not shorten the actuating throw....as said, the pivot point of a "short shifter" is higher up on the shaft, thus creating less leverage but shorter throws to accomplish the shift....
