Had the B&M and recently broke it. It's being replaced under warranty by Summit Racing - I bought it from them about 3 years ago. From what I hear, the older ones were more prone to breaking. Hopefully this is not true of the newer ones. I always liked the B&M Ripper (w/ MGW knob), and it seems very strange to be using the stock shifter now.
I got an SVSi shifter from someone on the board, and will check it out. I have heard they are the best, and I have heard they are no good. I guess we'll see!
