Everyone had new bushings as well. I tried everything I could think of to make it stop rattling, but it wouldn't. I hope you have better luck. :happysad:

I think i even remember someone complaining to B&M about the rattling, and they just said that it's cause of the exhaust.

that can be a problem from time to time, but the same shifter installed (same model, not actual shifter) in a 95 civic, 99 civic, and 00 teg all w/ poly bushings and all rattled. I believe a B&M rep even posted out here asking about insight into their products. Rattling was the most posted complaint.

looks can be deceiving.. shorter doesn't mean better.. i had the b&m.. the throws were as short as the s2000's, but i had to lean so far over that i had a hard time reaching it with my harness on at the track.. the one i'm using now is right next to the steering wheel.. the throws are similar to stock, but i can upshift and downshift so much faster and easier..
