so then what is the difference between that and the stock one?


quicker shifting, you can't overshift, looks better

Most importantly... does it come with a B&M decal that we can stick to our window?

That was looking pretty cool right up until they said the shifter shaft is round. WHAT??? I think they really screwed up by not going with the traditional B&M flat bar shifter.

That thread has been going on for 6 months now, I guess the shifter will come out on the same day as the X-Charger

Wow! Just read Doug's post and he's even offered up a test mule. B&M is obviously interested in developing a relationship with Bamachips for a tuner program that will enhance the B&M shifter characteristics. Sounds like not only can we get an excellent tune, but with a triptronic type shifter and shift characteristics expecially tuned to the shifter ..... hmmmmm. Driving an auto will not only be lots of fun but - improved track times, anyone? Man, I hope they resolve the Ford solenoid issue soon. I want one!

UPDATE:

"Guys...quick update.. We have solved the switch problem!..Now, we need to order new prototype pieces to CONFIRM our findings and make sure all is good. we feel it will be. Also, I will likely be able to post a retail price for you guys next week or so and probably the part # as well. The product itself though will probably not be ready for shipment until around SEMA time though.of course it will be a feature product there. I will post more as I get additional information...."

"Ok, the new part # is going to be 81004. Fits 05-up Mustang Auto .We believe the retail price will be right about $325 for the unit , with a street price of about $305.once we have finalized the dealer pricing etc. It will still likely be around SEMA time (late Oct early Nov.) when this will be ready for shipment. I will let everyone know as soon as we can start accepting orders for these. ...more to come"

Exactly what I'm thinking. The price for the unit isn't too bad, just wondering what the install would be like.

Get the new Hi-Tek look for your '05 -'06 Mustang with the all new B&M Console QuickSilver shifter. The B&M QuickSilver shifter is available for your console and when installed, it features several unique materials.

.Here is a pic in the console for all of you to view...Keep in mind there will be no B&M logo on the bezel, but other than that this will likely be the finished version!...The front of the stick is channeled to fit a line lock wire etc. in there so you can't see it..Optional T-handles with Button or Ball with Button will be avail....

Is the install pretty easy or will it take an experienced mechanic to install the unit? Also how long does it take to install?
