UMI Short Shifter Handle
Just got it today and installed the bastard on my car...
Gotta say, this thing freakin ROCKS. Shifts are soooooo ridiculously short now, really worth it.
At only $20 bucks, no one with an M6 should be without it!!

In fact heres a pic of what it looks like.
All u get is a the handle, 2 bolts and 2 washers, so u can see the angle of the handle as it attached to the shifter:

i have the B&M and I just cut the stick that came with it down by 1". I think it may have messed up the geometry of it or something because it is harder to shift and feels like Im having to pull it back farther. If I had it to do over again I would have cut it 1/2". The B&M handle acyually curves toward you and then back straight up. I think its curved too much toward the driver.
Its not just noise, but vibration when you put your hand on the **** with aftermarket shifters. Stock shifters are like butter compared to mine.

To install this shifter handle do we first unscrew the shifter ****, pull out the leather shifter boot, remove the two bolts, remove the old shifter handle - and then do everything again in reverse using the new shifter handle?
I checked Install University (Transmission category) and they describe removing the whole center console and screwing around with the parking brake handle. Doesn't this seem like overkill for a shifter handle swap...?

The write-up on Install University is about replacing the whole shifter. All you should have to do to change the handle on the stock shifter is take the leather boot off.

But yea, take off the ****, the boot, take off the original handle, then go back, put the new handle on, the bolts, the boot, and finally the ****.
