i have seen 2 piece short shifters on ebay and am curious if they are good or not. i know b&m is the best, but if i can get near the same thing for half the price, why not. so does anyone have a shoftshifter other than b&m and if so, where did you get it and how much? thanks
 
Yes I did and you don't want one.

There are no aftermarket shifters for a 2G better than the B&M.

Period.

End of story.
 
More play than a 2 dollar hooker.

Mine snapped in half shifting to third gear after having it for 2 months.
 
The shifter is something you will use everyday and want to be incredibly accurate. Don't go cheap on a part like this. The B&M unit is ####ing dope and I would hate to be without it :thumb: :cool:
 
Now, there is a guy on the 3si boards that supposedly makes a very nice short shifter for a very good price. For some reason my email was blocked from that site and I've never even tried to register there before my friend told me about it. So if someone has an account over there, do a search and come back with some info.
 
I ordered one off of ebay.....I have had it like 6 months with some hard pulls on it and not have a problem......no breaks, etc.....it is like a 20 to 30 % reduction.....only issue is now my fingers hit the boot frame in first gear
 
I have an OBX short shifter. It came with no instructions and can be had for 80 dollars or so on eBay. It drastically reduced the throw and I haven't had a problem since.

There are some better short shifters, but B&M makes it the simplest for you with step-by-step instructions. I shoulda got it... :cry:
