the B&M short throw shifter has got to be one of the easiest mods i have ever done, its the only mod ive done so far that went right in just as the instructions state and in the time they said.......hell it only took me about 40 minutes, its nice......well worth the money

Good to hear you're happy! i ordered my short throw from car customs, and i haven't installed it yet. I have a 1996 cavy, and the instrutions seem a little diffcult since there're black and white.
give me any tips on the installation if any.
thanks which shift knobs will fit the shifter, and how do you install a shift boot?
glad u had good luck, i tried to install mine today and everythign was goin perfect until 1: when i disconnected the linkage at the bottome of the shifter, i lost the position it was in.
2: my buddy broke the clip for the same linkage.
ive been to 3 gm dealers and 2 parts stores and noone can get the part i need, so tomorow i get to go to the junkyard and prey that i find the same piece.
dashaun- ive heard that for the 95-99 shifters its a pain to install, i know for the ecotec its a breeze
and yeah, i almost broke that clip too, i got lucky, and i almost forgot to mark the linkage, but before i removed it i made sure to mark where it removed from, so reinstall was easy
and i don't know much about other knobs that fit, i love the one B&M supplies so i won't change it

i finished mine today, i ended up beeing able to use the broken clip, and as for marking the threads i winged it and it works perfectly.
ive got a 96 and it was a pain fixed 2-3 but having problems goin in to 1st i dunno haven't had a chace to play with it
threads? WTF? marking? mark what? I got a 96 and put in new shift cables. I didnt have to mark sh*t. I just disconnected the old cables and connected the new ones. Im putting in a B&M soon and would love for someone to tell me WTF i gotta mark.

good to hear. mine will be here on wednesday. ill prolly install it on thursday along with the tranny mounts from karo.
on the getrags it helps to mark where the cables go into the cable ends so when you reinstall you don't have to adjust too much, it should just go in and work

the trans mnts are awsome, no marking anything on 95-99 any one run into binding going into gear....not just 1st.... new trans-cables-shifter i dunno wtf is goin on
My install had the same linkage falling down into the console issues as well. ended up cracking one of the holddown tabs for hte linkage as well. guess B&M and Jack and coke dont work to well together.
Love the shifter though, just wish it would warm up with the rest of the car every morning!!
I just ordered a B&M shifter from karo...along with the motor mount and trans mount sets. Is there anything i should really take into consideration when i go to install the thing? I have a 01 cav. 2.2. Is there a certain way to remove these clips in a way that is less prone to breakage?
95-99 a little more time consuming but the install is fine. Getrag tranny is an easy install
those with 95-99 who have not installed it there are two versions on the stock set up make sure you follow the correct instructions.
