My B&M rattled until I put on an engine torque brace. I ended up putting on solid engine mounts and swapping to a cosmo intake manifold so I had to get rid of my torque brace(wouldn't clear my brake booster) and still didn't rattle.

b&m shifter
hey i noticed everyone has screws with allen wrench heads for the B&M. i didn't get replacement screws with mine and i don't have a socket with thin enough walls to fit the screws to really tighten em down.
anyone help me out getting those or at least size of screws so i can find em? ordered shifter from the 7 store, so if you're checking the thread and have some jason i'd appreciate the help

Am I the only person that thinks the stocker is short enough?
ps. I let my dad drive my car once...let me tell you I love to hear a 3rd miss as my 5th gear synco grinds!!
this wasn't a one time thing either...so I told him to just stay in second (3k shifter) or I'll do the shifting, haha!

The jury is still out, if I can make the stock shift hanle work with it I think I can get used to it otherwise the stock shifter might go back in...

I have had my B&M shifter for a year and a half now and am very happy with it. I had to do a bit of cutting on my body to make it fit, but it still only took about 45 minutes for the install. I have never had a rattle either.

The short shifters are definitely an aquired taste. When I installed mine, I was highly disappointed. However, after driving it for a while, I never want to go back to stock.
