Noob rites of passage for me...
Cleaned out the radiators/condensers and then lovingly gawked at what the UPS man delivered.
I guess I’m about to find out how much better this SS is compared to the B&M knock-off I bought off of Amazon.

1000% better. I found the difference similar to the difference between night and day.

Passenger side window regulator. Got the part from Amazon for $57.07. Fairly easy install. Probably the cheapest part I have bought for her!

Maybe I’m missing something but I just installed the Numeric and it didn’t appear to be a big leap from the B&M knock-off it replaced. The only thing special I did to the B&M was shim it to remove side-to-side play. After one test drive, I am inclined to believe that my $80 SS was/is 90% of what the $629 Numeric is. Maybe I don’t have the Numeric set up perfectly, I don’t know...

R u on the midle handle setting? I put their cables in too and the shifts were s lit more crisp from the angency power ss that was in there. I do think the throw was actually slightly longer on the midfle setting. I may switch too the shortest setting one of these days but most peffer the middle.

Going off what I know up to this point. I think a majority of people wanting to experience a short shifter for the first time, would be more than happy with my previous setup. I’m not knocking Numeric through. I am well aware that the last 10% of performance can often cost 5X as much as the product that took you to 90%. I’m definitely not a performance car/driving expert, I’m just throwing some data points out there for people to consider.

It is in the middle setting. Honestly, it feels just like the B&M knock-off with the exception that the throws from 1-2 and 2-3 are slightly more “bolt rifle like”. 3-4 has a slightly mushy pronounced notch. 4-5 and 5-6 didn’t get much (if any) of a work out and to be honest, aren’t that important to me for this application.

Maybe there's something funky going on with your shifter/cables?
