    just installed B&M..!?

    so yeah as the title says I jst put a B&m ripper in my c5. I havent driven it yet but it seems nice, except reverse. It is a pain in the ass now to grab reverse! has anyone had a similar problem? is this just a pit fall of these shifters? thanks

    I still have my stock shifter. I'm leaning towards the Hurst if I decide to get one

    Let us know how you like it once you get a chance to drive it for a while, which may also ease the shifting into reverse. It may take a small learning curve to go thru, as I don't see what could've gone wrong...

    make sure you have the clutch right to the floor otherwise it will be tougher to grab rev.
