    Ebay Short Shifter Link?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hey guys,

    I guess ill put the flame suit on for looking into the Ebay Short Shifter, but hey, in college a $25-$35 short shifter is something to be looked into, know what i meen?

    I know there was a link that i was directed to when researching the Ebay SS that had it for about $29... i think. I know there are other distributers other than buying straight off Ebay, those are the ones im looking for. Links? Comments? Concerns? I will only buy off of a site that most of you can agree is striaght.

    Thanks guys.

    they all are basically the same thing i just went with the first site i could find with the best shipping. just look for the b&m style shifters on there and roll with it. I think they're basically all just the same exact thing

    Yea look for the B&M style shifter. I've had mine for almost two years now and i have no complaints. Best $30 spent on the car. Makes shifting much more enjoyable. Just make sure you install it properly.

    this is exactly what mine looks like. Not the same seller tho...

    gahh...stay away. Yea you might get shorter shifts but after awhile you'll get a lot of slop, and impreciseness that will make you wish you had the stock shifter back on.

    Get what you pay for I guess.

    01audia4, did you have that problem before you installed the short shifter? because thats...well...really bad. Theres gotta be something wrong with your set up.

    Yeah, thats the one i was lookin for guys, now im just lookin for the site that actually makes the B&M mock shifter because i dont think i can buy off ebay because i dont have a paypal. so that link to the manufacturer would be great.

    Re: Ebay Short Shifter Link?

    I have the EB stores version as well. No problems installing it. Just make sure everything is adjusted according to the BM install instructions and you're golden. I added a dab of lube to the pivot ball and it seemed to help as well.

    Buy it.

    Re: Ebay Short Shifter Link?

    I bought the exact link shown above a while ago and finally installed it last night. Have about 70 miles on the car since installing it yesterday and i love it. Its very smoother and much shorter for throws. Took about 45mins-1hour to install and adjust (i am handy with a ranch, so it might take you more) but so far, im loving it. Just make sure that once you install it, put some grease/lube on the pivot ball and it'll be very smooth.
