C4S Surgeon - you ROCK!! Thanks a lot for alerting us to this product.

Just spoke with the guys at Vortex Auto - who are distributors for the Schnell short shifter.

Almost identical product:

- 30% throw reduction
- Gear shift sits normally, as opposed to the B&M SS, which sits 10 - 14% to the right
- Poly housing instead of aluminum for a few parts
- Unconditional money back g'tee if dissatisfied
- Priced at $159, which is significantly lower than the B&M

Seems very attractive. I'm going to start a new thread to gauge member opinions, but heavily leaning towards this option.

Rasta - Check out the link below. It is from B&M's site and gives step by step DIY info! These may be more "up-to-date" than the printed instructions that come with the shifter. PM me if you have any questions.
