nice editing/ modding of my post .... So who removed my comments about how utterly shit I and a number of friends have found B&M shifters to be? ... I want to make it clear that IMHO they are shit and not worth smashing your gearbox for, not a personal pop at C&B at all, just conveying my feelings on the subject to other MT75 users who will find thier box destroyed and all the other annoyances that go with a B&M shifter....

Sorry, this place is for free speech, not what someone wants to sell ... I never said a bad word about APT, just the shite that B&M churn out and charge a small ransom for ( that fucks your gearbox )...

IMHO I would never fit one again.

If they are as bad as the B&M kit was on my FRST they are deffo shit mine lasted about a week before I was fed up of missing gears and crunching the box to death that I ripped it out and put a standard one back in

My understanding also is that the prehistoric mt75 can only change so fast anyway so you quicked the gear change anymore you smash the synco's.

Best of leaving it standard and replaces the bushes to make them feel tighter
