Over the winter, I installed an ebay B&M clone short shifter on my 2000 S.

For $55, you get a very nicely made part with some second rate plastic parts. I replaced the nylon plastic parts with teflon and installed the shifter.

I've finally had the opportunity to actually drive the car around now that the snow is melted and I have to say, I really like the way it works. The gates are very well defined and the throws are nice and short. There is an increase in notchiness, but it's not objectionable. The feeling is much more precise than stock.

I know some members on the board have been disappointed with these kits but I am really happy with it.
