Talking B&M SSK VS Works SSK...?

Is the B&M the best short shifter out there? Is the Works unit comparable? I don't like the idea of cuuting so much to get the bigger reduction on the B&M.

Feedback and personal experience appreciated!!

I like the WORKS Throw, but I'm a little partial

Well it depends on what B&M SS your speaking of. I think the non-adjustable one reduces throw by ~15%. The adjustable one can be set at ~15% or ~30%. I think the ~30% setting is the only time you will need to modify/cut anything (dunno for sure). I believe in another thread it was mentioned that the WORKS SS sits lower than the B&M at the 15% setting, but at the 30% there about the same.

I would do a search, these items have been discussed A LOT.

No trimming or other modifications needed. Just a simple swap. We even include the new retainer so you don't have to purchase another or sacrifice your OEM shifter

I got to give works props for including a new retainer, that's a $15-20 value.

Also, does the works shifter come with new shifter bushings?

Shifter bushings are not included with the WORKS Throw at this time. They should be available in the near future.
