the b&m rattles because of hte insert and crappy knob (if used). remove those and no rattle on KA or SR.
the B&M requires a bit of muscle if you're forcing gears. if you revmatch or drive smoothly, the gears fall into place and every shift is smooth as silk. however, the only times i really have to muscle it is when going into 1st in the mornings (i requires a bit of a push) or when downshifting into 1st (most cars are like this).
