B&M

They are good if you want a precise short throw gearlever. However to select reverse you will need to modify the collar to allow it to work correctly in the 16v and williams.

Look out for second hand ones as new they are £180.

However i would recomend the BB tunning version as its better made with no plastic parts and gives a much better shift than the B&M one.

Well worth it.

P.s quote Williamsclio when you order and you can get a extra discount on thbe 10% off.

Stainless and brass bushes from my memory.

These are the ones i have tested !

Original - Still the best for smooth quick changes imo

B&M - precise, stiff and direct change that imo is slower than standard. Draw backs - too short unless you have bucket seats.

BB Tunning - Precise direct shifter that is slightly longer than the B&M but shorter than standard. Williamsclio recomended!!!

You will need to modify the B&M sleeve to allow it to do this

Is a security device i'm sure.

Locks the gearstick in place so you can't move it.

Had one in my old valver. Worked well, but what an eyesore!
