I've had both the B&M and JHM shifter and I prefer the JHM...
The B&M was a vast improvement over the stock shifter, but felt a bit notchy. The JHM is very smooth, but still allows for shorter travel. I believe that the B&M has 3 setting options that you can choose when installing, while the JHM only has 2. If you consider the JHM, I would suggest that you have the shaft shortened by 1 inch, which adds like $5-$10 to the shifter. Good Luck.

I don't know about B&M. It looks an awful lot like an ebay shifter. Parts look pretty similar

too similar for the price difference, IMO, unless their nylon bushings and c-clips are of some incredibly higher quality<ul><li><a href="http://www.bmracing.com/media/products/pdf/25.pdf">B&M installation instructions</a></li></ul>
