B&M Shifter UGHHH
ALLLLLLRIGHT!
It seems that my shifter likes to rattle (just hear it, not feel it) only happens just under 3000rpm in every gear. I checked and double checked every bolt and put down dynomat to make less annoying. Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do to fix it......
Also it seems really really really hard to shift almost rediculuis but it is enguaging in every gear, I think some of it might be because I have my shifter **** all the way screwed down due to the fact that the stock lock pin won't fit into the B&M shifter. Should I call up B&M and get a new pin?
Help me out guys :cheers:

Trade your B&M for a Hurst.
Check the shims by the shifter plate, most rattles result from shims that do not fit right. I have never had a rattle with my B&M

No problem here. Don't know what to tell you. I guess lubricate and make sure it's installed correctly. :seeya

You're not the first person I've heard that swapped the ripper out because they didn't like it. Me, I love the short throws and don't think the shifting is difficult at all. To each his own. Sure is a shame you can't 'try before you buy'.
