Short Throw Shifter Question
I don't like the shifter in my F55 C6. Too long of a throw, and I have a problem with 3rd gear once in a while (long time stick shift driver). I am considering the B&M shifter. If you have installed a short throw shifter, do you like it? Any down side? Thanks.

Installed B&M last week. I like it but there is a very slight rattle in the shifter. Buy a two inch rubber plug at Lowes and place it at the base to reduce the rattle.
Also, if your dash currently has a squeak, line the edge of the silver piece with felt tape and it will be forever silent.
