$40.00 short shifter? Is this worth it?

[sohc90adel]

Im seeing a lot of 40 dollar short shifters on ebay and i am wondering if these things are worth getting?

1. Do they decrease the throw?

2. Can I put my shift knob on them?

3. Are they easy to install?

Somebody had to buy it already. Share the experiance with the people that havent.

not exactly easy to install...

a short shifter is a short shifter, as long as it's not made with alumnium then it shouldn't be too bad... and of course it decrease throws

you are goign to hear people scream b&m but it's up to you, you be the judge... I actually appreciate stock throw

B&M must be nice cause everyone seems to love it, wasnt there noise issues? Not everyone has 200 bucks though, It would be nice just to get a 40 dollar shifter that decreased the throw. I just want my knob to fit, and i dont want any trouble installing and of course it has to decrease throw.

im not sure about the $40 one that your talking about but i have an obx and it works fine i did have to file down the grooves though to let it fit. I dont like the b&m b/c the throw is not there i bought a standard to shift not click the shifter back and forth. if your instred i have a brand new obx for sale.

Ok I am a 1st hand source. I got A $40 stainless steel shifter from some company. Probs I had were:-Missing bolts-missing dust boot-missing plastic thing to hold the shifter from coming out

And i learned that not all short shifter decrease the throw the same. you get what you pay for. My friends B&m shifter had a resulted in a dramatic decrease in throw. But he paid like $200 for it. My ss had like a 10% decrease on the throw. Not that much but it was $40.

you have to decide how much throw you want to decrease

my skunk2 SS ($120) on my integra is only 1 inch shorter... my friends SS ($10) is very close each other in every gear. he likes it and I don't

you be the judge and decide what you prefer

Take it from me, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

I don't particularly like anything made from america. it doesn't matter if it works good or not i for some reason can't use anything from b&m and companies many people use from. like ecu tuning from jwt i refuse to get it done there. that's just my opinion i use c's it's pretty good

i got an ebay one...missing that small plastic bushing @ the very end; contacted the seller, he shipped it to me ASAP! U guys should have contacted the seller to tell him what's missing...

hmm, didn't know that the mini dust boot was supposed to be included in the SS

<installing this on my birthday in july or when my car hits 200K, whichever comes 1st...>
