Default SHORT SHIFTERS ON EBAY

I bought one of the short shifters on ebay item#8063640443 for my 95 gt.I bought one of these instead of a pro5.0 or b&m cause i'm on a budget like most of us on here.Well anyway i wanted to say this is a awesome shifter and well worth the money.I bought and used a pro5.0 shifter and this ebay shifter works just as good.I know people have posted about these in the past and people on here fire back with (you get what you pay for)i'd say try one you wont be sorry.Just my .02

if you are on a real tight budget you could have just replace the rubber bushings for steel ones in the shifter

b&m for 200 bucks is well worth it... i think spend just a little more and you wont get any headaches... unless your really tight.

It might be nice now, but give it time, it may wear out at the friction points due do low quality materials.

I bought an ebay blow off valve and blew the diaphram in a week. Bought the blow off valve the ebay one imitated, and it works 100% better.

200 bucks for a Hurst shifter is worth it as well..especially if it comes bolted to a tremec 3550
