Hi,
Yes, the B&M Shifter is a GREAT shifter to have for any 00-04 5 speed Cavalier or Sunfire. IT works wonders. 28% reduction. For the price you can NOT go wrong.

Wierd, maybe Dave should have done it so your settings changed over from the J Body Site to this site
<br>
carcustoms.net has great service, sure i bought my shifter from karo at speedway on the way to ubly, but still i've only heard good things.
i'll buy most if not all my parts from karo.
thanx karo
Love my short shifter - only problem I've found is that in the summer in Arizona it gets a bit hot - I now have the B&M logo burned into my palm - haha
the shifter is very nice, any1 who is looking to order one talk to karo. it does get pretty warm in the summer, but its worse when its cold. well worth the money.
I am looking into getting my self, and hello I have a Base 2003 yellow cav.
Hey fellow E-tec lol Ecotec and J-Body owners, what is the cheapest price that ya have seen the B&M short Throw for, and where? Please help a fellow ecotec powered j-body owner here. Please reply here and to jvilledominican@excite.com 2003 School Bus yellow (Rally) 5-spd LS Sport Coupe

Is anyone gonna answer my questions or what??
So is anyone going out to JAX Raceways tomorrow?
I love my B&M, I have mine in my Grand Am. In Canada, it get freakin' cold so I put the stock knob on it, much cleaner look too. All you have to do is start turning it on the shaft and it will self-thread. By the time its almost on, its so tight, you just turn it so that the "standard H" is upright. Very cool shifter.
How do I get in touch with Karo and how much can I get the shifter for??
Karo's site is
Carcustoms.net
Drop'em an Email at sales@carcustoms.net
if you can get rid of the Reverse Lock-out on the B&M shifter, you can swap diffrent shift knobs. I just got a new shift knob on mine.

I didnt know they changed the stereo for 03+ <br>
Your out of luck, the drag cars you speak of are front wheel drive. The NHRA drag Cavaliers are v8. Even the Saturn Vue is FR and its an SUV.
You'd be looking at a custom set up.

What modifications (if any) are required to put the shifter in a Grand Am?
as long as its a 00+ with a Getrag Transmission, it will
swap in the same as it would in a J car.
Personally I don't know much about the interior of a GA,
but I'm sure there are just a few more screws and bolts
once you get the console out, the instructions speak for themselves
just don't break nothing getting it in there

Ditto El Guapo, I have the B&M in my Grand Am, perfect fit. <br>

Have any pics of the short throw shifter with the stock knob on it? That seems like the way to go over the B&M metal knob.

Just start turning the your stock knob on your shaft, it will self thread. It won't turn easy, just grab your shaft, twist your knob and you'll be fine.
Let the jokes begin. <br>

El Guapo: what's on your ebrake? anything that was stock in a newer J or is that aftermarket?
thanks
ummm I got the sport package when I ordered my car (1SC package)
It came with a leather-wrapped Steering wheel, Shift Knob, and E-Brake
the only thing still there is the E-brake
besides, our E-brake lever is curved where aftermarket E-brakes are Straight.....
so unless you do some heavy modifications to the stock e-brake,
you can forget about an aftermarket lever.......
bummer
