is the bend above the axis point??
if so, the only difference will be height and location of throw (height would also affect length of throw)..
single would probably be a taller shifter than the dual-bend and a longer throw front to back/side to side

I use a single bend B&M... all it does is affects the final resting location of your shift ****. some ppl like to sit really far back from the wheel or do the gangsta lean, so they prefer the shif****b further back so they can reach it from their lean back stance... that's who the dual bends were designed for.

I was told the single bend is for a civic and the dual "s" bend is for the integra.

I have the dual bend....I like it. And actually the dual bend, to me, seemed like it put the **** farther forward (towards the front of the car) which gave the **** more of a tilted forward feel.
