man... its $20, just give it a shot 'cause i want one too now and don't feel like working on my car right now (everything is running well and i don't wanna fix what ain't broke and get it off on one of its little tissies)

well 20 dollars is his starting bid its not the final price unless no one bids on it. at the looks of his score and feedbak rating it doesnt look like he will rip you off by it not being real. they start the first bid rela low to get more bids and have a bigger price at the end. i think you should be fine.

20 bucks plus another 20 for shipping

B&M makes a good short throw shifter. Since when do we put cheap parts on our FDs???

I bought one and it wound up costing 55 dollars. It works great and super fast shipping.

I use one...I've never used another aftermarket short shifter so i have nothing to compare it to. The shifts are very short. No rattles or anything. Its a bit notchy when shifting at slower speeds (everyday driving) but when going through the gears its pretty sweet. I've heard they are all notchy anyway so I'm not to concerned with that. I also used the mazdatrix aluminum bushing. I would say go for it.

I bought the same one last week, should be here friday. I'll let you know how it is.

ttt... i'm really interested on what you guys who have bought and used these, think about them. specifically interested in knowing what anyone who has used this and perhaps a B&M to get a good comparison.

I have a B&M and an E-bay short shifter and looking at them they look like they were made on the same CNC machine. They feel the same also. The only difference I can tell is the color. I'm not saying all E-bay short shifters are the same but that is my experience.

As most have said, I have nothing to compare it too, however a friend of mine but a cheap short shifter for his car (just a civic) and got in an accident while holding the shifter and broke it in half! Seems to me that if a human body brakes metal that it can't be too sturdy, but like I side I don't have anything to compare it to.

Not too long ago someone on here had a thread about breaking one of the more expensive short shifters (gotham, B&M, RRX7Store) while driving.

Installed the cheap one on ebay, works great. No noise, and shifter is nice and stiff and notchy, like all other short shifters.

Very pleased for a $45 short shifter.

pugg57

got the MK1 (mookeeh.....er something like that)

pugg57

nah it was easy, all u need a 10mm,12mm socket and a 6mm allen socket. Took about 10-15 minutes, with me shooting the **** with a friend.

comes with very basic instructions, because its a very easy install.

all you gotta do is:
remove shift ****
pop the center console thingy, unplug connectors
remove rubber boot with 10mm(deep socket)
remove the 4 12mm bolt holding shifter
knock the shifter loose( theres silicon holding it in)
clean, apply new silicon
install shifter with new bolts supplied with kit
reinstall everything else
wipe the sweat off your forehead and drink another beer :-)
