Default B&M Short Throw

Does anybody know how much shorter the B&M short throw shifter is than the stock shifter? I'm doing my interior in Sparco, and their shift ***** make the shifter look way too tall because of the way the threads are. Or does anybody know of any short throw shifters that are much shorter than the stock version? Thanks.

There are plenty of short sticks out there (Lou's, UMI, etc). Check the manual Trans section for the info. Not sure if they will bolt up to a B&M though. Research in that forum for your answer.

It isn't too much shorter than a stocker, and a lot of people don't like that. If you need to switch out the shifter handle, then the Pro 5.0 is for you.

I have a Sparco anatomic (pistol grip indentations) suede **** on a cut down (about 1") Pro 5.0 handle and it is about perfect. But it is NOT a threaded ****, it uses 3 allen keys to secure to the handle.
