I was looking on ebay for a B&M and came across a new style of shifter. This looks like a B&M. Here is a link to an auction.

This one actually comes with the mounting plate like the B&M. Do you thing it is worth a try?

well i'm not saying that megan isn't good but, I will say that most of the time you get what you pay for. WIth that being said i think i'm going to ditch that auction and keep saving for a B&M.

hahaha,well i just never done business with megan so i was just seeing,im not saying they arent good or bad. but i bought an apc short shifter for my last car and i saved 60bucks, and it worked fine. so who knows, but sticking with more well known brands is always a good idea i think.

yes it is better to go with well known brands, if sumn goes wrong it would be easier to get your money back or a new product because if they dont respond you can tell other people and hurt their growing buisness

Just recieved that shifter from ebay. Ok when i saw it i thought they sent me a B&M by accident. It has a blue mounting plate, springs that return the shifter to the center. A beefy shifter itself. Diameter is way thicker than stock. Also came with bushing that connects shifter to linkage which fit very snug. Throws are reduced a good 60% from the megan short shifter i had. I cannot express how tight and firm it is. It is awsome. I paid $74 shipped. If someone is looking for a great shifter pick one up from this guy. It is exactly like the B&M with a mounting plate and all!
