Is B&M the only manufacturer that makes a shift stabilizer bushing, to be used with an OEM manual tranny, that also allows you to adjust the position of the OEM shifter? I know that Neuspeed and Energy Suspension make shifter bushing kits, but I don't know if they let you move the position of the shifter like the B&M does.

That B&M piece only allows you to move the shifter fore/aft. It does not allow for left or middle standard positioning...the B&M MEdge shifter gives you this option.

Besides, it's so not worth the $50 or whatver they cost nowadays. NVH is twice as bad, and shifting feels kinda weird...like its gated (ferrari-ish).

So would the B & M edge w/energy suspension bushing kit be a good choice?

Thanks, I didn't know the bushings were only front/back adjustable. I would kind of like to move neutral a bit to the driver's side, but I'd really like to move the shifter back towards the armrest. The ITR's gear shift sits too far foward for my taste. I have a friend with the B&M adjustable bushings and his shifter feels great. I was just curious if B&M is the only game in town for this application.

You can move the standard neutral position to the 1-2 position or leave it at the 3-4 position with the B&M Edge short shifter.

And, if you think that the ITR's shifter is too far forward, you'd have to create a mini-me just to row the shifter for you if you got the B&M shifter. It's a straight shifter design, with no bend to place the **** closer to the rear of the car like the stock shifter and other brands (ie: Neuspeed, DC Sports, etc.). It's a bit of a stretch at first, but you'll eventually get the hang of it.

And, to answer your question...yeah...I do believe that B&M is the only company to employ the position-adjustable shifter.

Yeah...I thoroughly enjoy it on a daily basis.
