Dont take this the wrong way... but i would not trust something as important as my transmission to that...
look cheap...
spend the extra 100 and get something that will damn near insure that you wont break it..
steeda tri ax or pro 50

It's a Fidanza. I have it in my 01. It's still notchy but with a short throw. I put a MGW shift **** on it. It doesn't look well built but i was short on cash, someday hope to replace it with a Steeda.

Looks like AM is selling the Chinese "eBay" type Pro-5.0 clones. I saw one once (perhaps not exactly the one AM has, but one very similar a fellow got from eBay). [/align][/align]I would not buy it myself as it surely "ain't no MGW", however it also wasn't"OMG, barf up lunch bad" either...[/align][/align]Then again, if there is one thing my 62 years have taught me it is that "If you buy the cheapest there is, there is a very good chance you will end up with the cheapest there is."[/align][/align]This is not always so, however it's true more often than not; I.e. Do you feel lucky today?[/align]

You can buy used Hursts, B&Ms, Steedas, etc., on ebay for about the same price as the new off - brand shifters. I bought a used Tri - Ax for $65 (shipping included). It looks and works fine.
