After driving home last night, I now get the decision and will wait for some comparo reviews

I had the same problem, I just used a long steady pull, it will come off.

This B&M Precision SportShifter for the modern Bronco platform with the 2.3-liter Engine and 7-Speed manual transmission includes a 303 stainless steel stick with an anodized aluminum pivot. Our design reduces the throw by a massive 40% over the factory shifter and provides a shorter more positive feel when shifting gears. To help accomplish this, we increased the stick height by almost 3-inches to create a much more ergonomic shifter position. The factory shifter sits lower than the center console, but ours sits in line with it so you can rest your arm on the console and shift more comfortably. The factory leather shift boot is also retained and attaches to the new black anodized aluminum lockout slider to smoothly and easily actuate reverse. The included black round shift knob shows the shift pattern on top and B&M logos on the sides, both filled in white to tastefully compliment the interior of the Bronco. Also, this shifter has 100% compatibility with the factory knob, so if you want to retain your leather-wrapped knob instead of the B&M knob, you can do so. Finally, the SportShifter attaches directly to the OEM shift cable and includes installation instructions and all hardware necessary for an easy at-home installation.

Features:

• 303 Stainless Steel Stick and Anodized Aluminum Pivot
• Reduces Factory Shift Throw by 40 Percent
• Custom Black Shift Knob with White Accents
• Improves the Shift Feel over OEM
• Over 65 Years of B&M Quality
• Lifetime Limited Warranty
• Easy Installation

Couple of quick questions:

1. How easy/hard is it to install and uninstall?
2. If you install it and show up at the dealership for the grinding manual trans noise will the shifter void your warranty? Or does the type of shifter have no affect on the trans making grinding noises?
3. Any way to take of the B&M logo on the shifter? I mean, the only person driving the Bronco would be the owner, and you already know it's a B&M shifter.

1. Install instructions are on their site, I've never switched out a shifter but I could follow.
2. Don't know
3. You don't have to use their knob, can use stock or another aftermarket one.

I'm looking forward to Archetype's shifter when it finally hits the market.

....to tastefully compliment the interior of the Bronco.

I believe the word you're looking for is contrast not compliment. There isn't a spec of high-gloss black or white paint on any trim of the Bronco as far as I know.

I would be very interested in this if it had a matt finish. Right now it sticks out like a sore thumb.

So...I just installed this shifter. First impressions are that it feels like the barton shifter in my mustang. Substantially shorter throws and notchy. The height is about an inch higher than the armrest which helps shifting when I have large cups in the way. The stock shifter is made with plastic materials and has felt like it would break it if I ever shifted hard. The b&m is all metal and feels stable and secure. Other than that, it is comfortable to me has a heavy duty feel which is what I want in a short throw shifter.
Attached is the length difference between the two. I placed them exactly where they each mount to the housing.

So do you have the transmission rattle and did this help?

Everything sounds the same my trans sounds goes away after warm up.

How did the install go?

How did the install go?

It was pretty straight forward. You'll definetly need some good pry tools. I've installed about 15 shifters in various cars and this one was more complicated due to being cables. But if you have the tools and confidence, its not bad.

If you reduce that throw any more then there is no throw at all!

also, looks like a dildo sticking out of the shift boot

Says you can keep the oem Knob instead of theirs. That's what I would do. Agree the knob is ugly.

 

[Zakm]

I may be wrong but I think they were going for a retro look. Everyone had dildos back then.
