I personally feel that the ITR shifter is great. If anything in my car, I'm going to get a taller one.

Now to your question, I had a B&M in my 96 GS-R. I loved every minute of it. But knowing how much easier it is to mis-shift, I woulnd't gamble that in the R. Either way, seems like you've made up your mind and all I can comment on is that the B&M one I had was great. HTH.

I actually got a cheap eBay one for free, I tried it on with some ES Bushings, and its fine. I like it better then the stock shifter. Only bad thing about it is that it gets hott from the b-pipe.

I think B&M for the Honda/Acura lines are good shifters but for the Sentra and I think the Lancer or the Focus (cant remember which one) their shifters have the tendency to mess up the shifter cable/linkage.

I also feel that the ITR shifter is perfect.

OE is excellent. I love my skunk 2 shifter and knob combo. I had the cheap B&M one and sent it back(rattle)

Well I been had a SK2 short throw, but have yet to install it after multiple years. I did originally when I got it, but it rubbed the stock exhaust. Since then I haven't tried again, even after upgrading my exhaust.

I have no problems with the OE shifter.

I dont know if I would change the shifter on the ITR but Skunk2 and DC Sports both make good short shifters for Integras.
