B&M Shifter backorder
I placed an order with a Forum sponsor vendor on Feb 15 and when I followed up a few days ago. they are on back order from B&M. They said B&M is waiting for parts.
Anybody have a B&M shifter on back order?

Thanks. I ordered mine from Corvette's of Houston. Will have to wait, I guess.
They said B & M was waiting to get some bushings from China. I happened to be in Shanghai at the time and had to laugh.

I suppose more and more Vette caretakers are dissatisfied with the throw of the MN6. I replaced my stock shifter on my '04 Coupe with the B&M once I acquired the car. I was ready to buy an '06 with the MN6, when I realized that the new shifter still had too much throw.
So, rather than getting the MN6 and starting again with the mods, I got the A6 and use the paddles.
BTW, on my '04, I took two segments of wheel balance weights and strapped them to the shifter, underneath the boot. I then installed a heavy $200.00 black chrome **** I bought from an online guy in LA. That nearly eliminated the buzz.
Despite being a stick shift guy for over 40 years, I still love the paddles after 2500 miles!
