anyone have any experience with these shifter? the website says its made out of steel so thats a plus unlike the ebay breakable aluminum ones.


also just because i don't feel like making another thread, how are b&m shifters? i hear a lot of people saying that theirs rattles like crazy.

I hear mixed things about b&m.

They come with an extra spacer...and everybody who mentioned using that spacer had no problems...so maybe people who have them rattle bought used ones and didn't get that spacer...I might be wrong they may just be shitty...I will say my buddy had one on his cavalier and it worked out good until he got in a wreck *not his fault lol*

Don't have any reference for the megan ones.

Why? Why would you waste your time/money with a questionable shifter, when you can buy any oem 94-01 integra dual bend and get the desired results and have no issues....

Go with a Fidanza I use it in all my builds cheap and reliable. Megan's are okay b&m are overpriced but they work. Any shifter will rattle if not installed right.

You get what you pay for. /thread

Did you have to use any spacers or anything or was it a perfect fit?

Deetz

perfect fit!!!!! I used them in all of my civic now...they just seem perfect!!! I should mention i have b series in all of my civic's. It it is a d series, you need to make a 10 minute mod...it's all over the internet on the step

Thanks Deetz!

I'm going on a junkyard run to get a few parts this weekend or next so I'll be on the lookout for a teg...I was gonna pull the gauge cluster from one to experiment with anyways.

EJeff8

B&M's are hardly overpriced. I got mine new for $50.

Works great and no rattles BECAUSE I USE THE SPACERS THEY SEND WITH IT

For anybody who was looking into putting the teg dual bend in place of the civic shifter...here is an awesome DIY writeup

If you land one of those and some new bushings...you'd still be spending less than alot of shifters cost.

@SpecialBrownie...it seemed like the ones who complained about the rattling were also the ones who didn't mention the spacers so it makes sense

buymesomedunks

well if i were to get a b&m one it would be off of ebay but im scared, what if it doesn't come with these "spacers" :'[

TwoFacedCustoms

There's places that sell for just as cheap as ebay...and use paypal, and garaunteed new in package and always come with the spacers.

Type B&M Shifter civic into google shopping...I did a search a little while ago out of curiousity and alot of the places used paypal and had costs very similar to ebay.

what do the spacers look like?

EJeff8

I got mine from SUMMIT along with the bushings.

The B&M comes with more than enough spacers. You need more for a b series and only two for a D. Also comes supplied with lubricant and instructions. A+ buy.

EJeff8

Little round orange rubber spacers

buymesomedunks

like those o-rings?

EJeff8

Exactly. They are orange o rings basically.

buymesomedunks

ohh alright thanks. sorry for asking so many questions but i noticed the b&m shifter doesn't have any bearings in it? does this even matter?

EJeff8

What do you mean no bearings?

buymesomedunks

like these. ( the b&m one is on top and the megan one is on the bottom)

killahatch

i love my megan racing short shifter. short and reduces the throw by quite abit. its all personal preference i guess.

buymesomedunks

does your shifter rattle at all???

devney

I'm sure they work fine, I don't see why they wouldn't. They aren't going to break, especially if they're steel. I agree with Deetz though. Integra shifter is where it's at.

EJeff8

Okay, here's how the B&M shifter works. You get the shifter exactly as that picture looks, you get a pack of specific o rings and a thing of lube. You take your STOCK CIVIC BEARING and replace the 4 o rings that are on it with the ones supplied by B&M. You pop it in to the B&M and level it out (it'll "level out" regardless when you mount it). Get under the car, lube the right things up, and if you have a D series, pop one set of o rings on the shifter. Same size, one on each side of the shifter, squished between the shifter mount and the shifter itself, the directions will tell you which set of the rings to use. Do that and wham! 30-40% shorter throws for like what? $50 new from Summit? Plus an extra $10 for new ES bushings?!

No brainer perosnally. but do what you want man, it's all you.
