The B&M is like 5/8" shorter than stock, but it changes the height of the pivot point, makng the shift throw shorter and firmer because of the lower mechanical leverage.
Too me, The B&M feels notchy. I was thinking about this the other day..... in the middle ground, what one person will call sloppy is notchy to another. It depends on which end of the spectrum your tastes lie.
I do like the B&M, but it is firm enough that I sometimes have to hunt for the gear unless I ram it in there. The stock shifter uses a light touch and finess. The B&M reminds me of my Corvette...Stiff, notchy and needing to be manhandled.
