Well I should have spent the extra $$$ and bought a B&M. I'm kickin' my own a$$ right now cause I broke my ISIS shifter. For anyone looking to buy a knock-off think twice. When I would shift into third agressively I would occasionaly miss it and roll into fifth, cause I have a habit of pushing up and over with just the palm of my hand. I tried to fully grip the knob to keep it from rolling over into fifth and it worked, and I was getting it into third. But yesterday when I shifted into third I felt something "give-out". I pulled the shifter out and DAMMIT the plastic/nylon bushing that the shifter pivots on snapped in half. Stock one is going in today....... lesson learned

the bushing that b&m provides isn't awe inspiring at all. i plan on getting the cusco metal bushing eventually, but the stock bushing is worlds better than the one that comes with the shifter.

I cut the stock bushing in one place and slipped it off the stock shifter and onto the cheapo ebay shifter. A lil JB weld on the cut point and you are good to go.

uhhh courtesy parts is like under 3$ for a brand new OEM bushing.. been using it in my car for 2+ years with NO problems on a cheap ebay C's style shifter.

First thing i did was remove that crappy ebay bushing, the oem not only fit, but it snapped in there..

under 50 bucks for a rock solid short shifter.. not bad in my opinion
