I have the B&M shifter on my GSX. I know Hondas are solid link and DSMs are cable-shift. Totally different shifters. But anyway, I love it. Quiet, comfortable, accurate and well made. The DSM version doesn't use bushings, it uses roller bearings.

Nobody cares about my shifter. Don't base your purchase on my testimony.

b&m's are cool i like how you can buy them in different throw reductions, i also like how they kind of position the shifter forward (at least the one i installed for a kid, it was the straight one with a ball i think it was the 40% reduction) ive also herd nothing but good things about that FP shifter syclone posted (mostly autox guys around here), but have no personal experience actually driving with one.

i paid like 50 for my DC sports shifter....it has a positive feel, much shorter throws, and sits much lower than my stock 99' si shifter. No problems whatsoever! Highly recommend! (i did have to cut off an unused exhaust mount so i could shift into 5th)
