I'll chime in (again) on this topic. My B&M buzzed so badly that, after several try's at quieting that damn thing down, I removed it and took a torch to it. Don't know if it was a defective unit or what? The 4-5 and 5-6 upshifts were so vague, that you could never be sure what it was doing or what gear you would end up in. On the 4-5 shift, half the time you ended up in 3rd gear, and on the 5-6 shift, you'd end up in 4th. You could also twist the shifter 45 degrees off center, both to the left and right. IMHO, the B &M is a POS! Think I'll make a lamp out of it. The stock shifter is a better unit.
