B&M is good...but my in case, it was rattling against the lower support bar.
I have since switched to mFactory
http://www.mfactoryhk.com

And have solved all problems. The mfactory shifter and knob has a good feel and weight.

i have a B&M... took about 1hour to install. did it my self.
with Ek1 make sure you move the exhuast pipe and make sure you use new bushings. and your set.

very close now, much tigher as well.
also 1st few days take it easy till it wears its self in, we dont want you breaking things now do we :P

one more thing, it sits nicley with stock knob hehehe

Its actually very simple to install. I do my own installation.

If you have the right tools, you can even DIY. You should be able to install it in under an hour.

eBay cheapos are made from Aluminum and may snap. There have been quite a few horror stories covering this subject, and not just eBay cheapos, but brand name stuff like DC Sports as well.

My advice is to stay away from the cheap Aluminum jobs. B&M is stainless steel, so you should be ok there :)
