OBX short shifter install

[rmenaul]

I just bought a short shifter and need to install it in my 95 Talon TSi. Anyone out there done it already and have any links to install it??
Thanks.

I've not seen one for the OBX.

You may not have it on for very long. And, be prepared to do some whittling on it to make it fit right.

Why would I not have it on for very long?, I heard OBX made a solid short throw shifter for 95-99 eclipse/talons???, Would I be much better off going with B&M short shifter?
thanks.

Yes, you are better off getting the B&M short shifter. You get what you pay for and in B&M's case, it's perfect fit and delivers as promised. I have driven a car with the OBX shifter and it is a pale comparison to the B&M part. By the way, after trying the OBX part, it cleared any doubt in my mind if it was worth the few extra dollars I spent on the B&M. No regrets on my end. I have also read about the OBX shifter breaking where pieces are joined. That on top of what Defiant said just does not justify the money saved. Good luck. Keep us posted.
