I might just take the leap and buy a schnell, I will have to see if anyone will buy the earrings im selling on craigslist, lol.

Well, I went and bought the cheapest one. I put a bid at the starting price and got it for $55. We will see how well it is made when it gets here, but heck, for $55 I could buy 3 for the price of one schnell.

Here was the writeup on the install that I did. You don't need to remove the front center console pieces as indicated in the writeup, but it makes putting it all back together a little easier.
If you get stuck, since you are in KC, just stop by the shop (Lenexa) and I can guide you through it......

Thanks for the link. I will definately use it. I might drop by the shop when I get done so I can get your advice if I need to adjust it any. While I'm there you can go ahead and tell me if its comparable to the B&M or if I should return it.

I got the shifter in today and installed it. The throw is reduced as much as the B&M but it is angled more than the B&M, but that doesnt really bother me. Everything went smoothly but for everyone else who is going to do it, here is some advice: when getting the stock bushings out you should use a razor blade first, then get a screw driver and pry it enough from the outside so it will spin the bushing so you have fresh tabs to cut. I know that doesnt make sense now but when you get to that step you will see what I mean. I am very pleased as I only paid $64 for the shifter and everthing.
