supRo Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I think B&M causes problems if fitted incorrectly in the first place. I had a secondhand one fitted two years ago. On my recent clutch change, all the shifter mechanisms were inspected for anything dodgy - everything was fine. On reflection I would have preferred to keep the stock shifter. The B&M makes the gearchange a little tighter but the stock is perfectly fine and dampened too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted March 13, 2007 Author Share Posted March 13, 2007 I went out in a 6 speed with one DIY (i think) fitted by a perfectionist, and it felt quite simply similar to stock, but shorter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 You could always go down the route of having a nice Sequential Gearbox Rob - surely you'd be one of the first to have it done on a Street Supra? Sadly, I don't have the £6-8 odd grand to lend you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonB Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 There's nothing wrong with the B&M now. The original version had a design flaw but the current one is fine. Mine's been installed for a couple of years now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markymark Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 I looked but could not find any markings:( I know it was fitted before it came into the country and the only other way I might find the name on it is to jack it up a crawl under:blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
