I put B&M on my Protege5. A big improvement is also made in terms of shifter feel, that is giving more of a mechanical snick snick undampened feel, by inserting the hard bushings in place of the OEM soft, rubbery bushings. These bushings are at the connection of the shifter linkage arm to the transaxel.

Interestingly, my Maxima 5-speed came from the factory with hard bushings. The OEM soft rubber bushings in the Protege5 took away a lot of feel. Of course, nothing beats having the shifter with the transmission directly below in a RWD car such as my Miata.
