I have been looking at these two b&m shifters should I go with the factory bend one or the straight design

I'd go with neither.....get the double bend model

 

I had a b&m straight short shifter in my first civic for roughly 5 years. As a teenager I thought it was awesome how physically short it was, and how short the throws were. Now when I look back, that thing was retarded. I much prefer stock height shifters w/ longer throws. My new civic has a skunk2 dual bend and it's much nicer. Not as nice as the TRD unit in my corolla, but as nice as I would expect from a shifter with linkage.

 

i have the b&m race model with the spherical bearing....they claim it is shorter but it sits exactly where the stock one did but with out the excessively long throw

 

I like the dual bend best. Most brands will have ball bearings and are a huge improvement.

 

Short shifter refers to the length of the throw, not the physical length of the unit.

 

Get the dual bend B&M... you won't regret it! I have had the same one in 3 of my cars and it's fantastic!

 

How much does the dual bend one run for ?
