Pics of B&M shifter with throw distance

Zac · 01-16-2002, 09:08 PM

Here are few pics of my B&M short throw shifter. Sorry I was going to do a full photo shoot of the install but I was too excited about getting it installed and trying it out that I didn't even bother. My camera really picked up all the small scuffs and scratches on the billet knob so it looks like I'll have to get out the metal polish.

Sorry this first pic is a little out of focus.

Zac · 01-16-2002, 09:09 PM

It's hard holding a camera and tape measure at the same time.

Zac · 01-16-2002, 09:11 PM

I held the tape at the same point on the dash so you can see how short the throw really is.

sweetbutxtreme · 01-16-2002, 09:13 PM

i wish i had a five speed......looks like ya need to shake out those floor mats tho

Zac · 01-16-2002, 09:16 PM

Damn floor mats need to be hosed off but it's too damn cold. I'd have to run a hose out my kitchen window or something...LOL.

Brayden · 01-16-2002, 09:42 PM

Is the short throw shifter worth it.
because i been having problems with my transmission since i brought the truck 6 months ago its been in the GM shop for 3 months or more
and they wont replace my shifter that i broke when driving the bastered. so they want me to buy a new shifter but it cost 289 bucks cause i need to replace the whole rod that goes into the transission.

So i am wondering if it would be stronger then the stock on

Zac · 01-16-2002, 10:14 PM

The B&M is way stronger than the stock shifter. The base on the stock shifter is plastic of all things. The base on the B&M is billet aluminum. It would be pretty hard to break the B&M.

BlueZQ8 · 03-17-2002, 04:55 AM

Another B.C. boy eh? Cool. I'm in the lower mainland (Surrey to be exact) And I'm curious....How much did you pay for the shifter? Where did you buy it? Have you run your truck at the track? And did you notice an improvement? How much? (if you know) Thanks man. Also, feel free to come by our message board at http://forums.delphiforums.com/PNWSTC/start and my site at http://bluezq8.iwarp.com

BlueZQ8 · 03-17-2002, 04:57 AM

Nice stereo too.....I've got the same one!

rsharpe · 03-17-2002, 05:08 AM

I take it the pics with the tape measurer is of 1st and 3rd.

Nope, that's the distance between 1st and 2nd.

rsharpe · 03-17-2002, 02:04 PM

Thanks that is what I ment just said it wrong.

WhiteXtreme · 09-10-2002, 06:34 PM

I know this thread is a little old but I was wondering if anyone has a part number on that shifter I would like to order on for my truck. And does it come with that billet piece where the boot goes onto?

bowtieboyS10 · 11-14-2002, 03:44 PM

whats the size of the threads on the shifter? ive seen some pretty cool "type R" knobs when i worked at wilde honda here, would they be able to fit on the shifter?

Twin-10s · 11-14-2002, 10:26 PM

the b&m shifter has 1/2-20 threads.

bs300ex5300ex · 12-03-2002, 05:24 PM

will these thigns work on a 1994?

Twin-10s · 12-03-2002, 09:16 PM

no the 45108 b&m ****er is for 95-03's
check out summit and jegs. sure hurst or b&m makes one that will work though.

LaynLo · 01-13-2003, 09:13 AM

just curious but how much does that b & m cost?

zq8jeff · 01-13-2003, 09:33 AM

I just got mine from Jegs last week,it was 170 something after shipping.

ZR1 S10 · 01-14-2003, 10:57 PM

If you mean me,then my truck is a 98.I haven't installed it yet because my truck is put away till spring.I hope I don't have any problems with installation,by then it might be too late to send back.

Boston\4.3/5speed · 01-15-2003, 08:06 PM

I wonder which has a shorter throw....B&M or Hurst...:shrug:

erronisme · 02-11-2003, 05:21 AM

Is the shaft on the B&M the same size in diameter as the stock shifters threads?

My idea is to cut the short throw and run a die over it, so I can still use the stock shift stick, but have the B&M short throw.

no won't work the b&m shifter is all 1 pc. the shift handle doesn't screw on to the base like the stock one does.

ZR1 S10 · 02-11-2003, 10:00 AM

I know this thread is REALLY old. But I was wondering if it will hit the dash on mine. Because where the sifter comes up is way under the dash! Any ideas or any1 have this happen to them?

Bad94 · 02-11-2003, 09:59 PM

I cant find one for my 94 5 speed. Also I have heard that some peolpe have propblems hitting the dash.

It wont be one piece if I cut it to the same length as the stock one.

What I need to know is if its hollow, and if its roughly the same size in diameter as the stock shifters male threaded end.

Ive got die's to run over the short throw stick to make threads so that it will go inside the stock shifter handle... But I dont want to get it, and it be hollow or way too small to even work with.

I guess the worst thing that could happen is welding a bolt on the end of the shaft, once its cut, then use that to thread the stock shifter handle on to the short throw's stick. I'm sure the boot would hide every thing.

Twin-10s · 02-11-2003, 11:19 PM

it is soild,the shaft is about 5/8-3/4 in dia.
why would you want to use the stock handle though?

erronisme · 02-12-2003, 01:24 AM

i just dont like the look of the small crome rod, Just personal preferance. If the rod was thicker and came in a different color besides chrome I wouldnt worry about it

Twin-10s · 02-12-2003, 10:01 AM

its not chrome. its just aluminum

ghstface38 · 07-20-2003, 12:59 PM

This thread is hella old, but the B&M does come with a shift knob right? In the Summit overview it says "shift knob not included."

Where can I get a knob like yours?

spd · 10-20-2003, 02:37 PM

truckperformance.com has them. they come with shift knob.

runswithatchet · 10-21-2003, 01:55 AM

does anyone know if this setup would work for a 94?

dropt98chevy · 10-21-2003, 08:32 PM

Don't know if it will work for a 94. I have one on my 98 and love it. I don't know why everyone is asking about knobs. I got mine straight from B&M and came with a knob. The knob it comes with is sick looking. All my honda friends keep trying to take mine, they all have type r ones but like the B&M knob better.
