Gear Head Porn! XXX Beware!!!!

[HAWAIIZR-1]

Thanks for sharing Mike! I dunno, I still really like my B&M shifter and wondering how much difference it makes from person to person based on size, driving style, seating position, etc. The B&M works much better for me than the Hurst in my 90. Not sure what other factors make it feel better. I had to run an errand today so I ran through the gears and not sure what I would want to improve on it, but good to know all the comparisons out there for our cars. We could always be like one member here building their monster LT5 with a sequential transmission/shifter (all his stuff is XXXXXX PORN) and not have to worry about it....ha, ha. I don't have that kind of coins in my piggy bank.

here we go.. all the C4 options (well B&M if you can find one I believe theyre discontinued)

Based on what I see:

B&M shortest throw and highest effort.

Hurst shorter throw and shorter height that oem

ZFDoc Shorter height than oem, throw/effort very close to Hurst, Retains vibration damper of stock shifter.

Oem : throw it in the garbage

Very welcome ! I do like the B&M myself and it could very well have been a non-balanced LT1 I had at the time that caused the vibration through the shifter or the resurfaced dual mass when I put a centerforce in my 93 car (15 years ago or so). The shift effort being highest is not necessarily a bad thing. for me that gives a very positive engagement and solid feel especially when getting into a gear. I honestly wish I kept it. I ended up selling it with the black tag I had in my 93 car when I bought a new blue tag.

Thanks for your thoughts and I know you can drive as evidenced by your videos. I thought about having surgery and shortening my right arm, but I was not sure if that would help me.

One last favor will you rotate the pictures so they are vertical and not horizontal?

This work ? I'll try to scale them better when I can

[Karl]

Yes that looks great. Thanks!

One last thing, can we invert these shifter photos so we can see them upside down? LOL ...just messing with Karl a bit here.
