Default WHERE TO GET CHEAP SHIFTER???"

like it said. where can i get a short shifter for like 140 range. I want something that is reliable and wont be a POS. im also looking for an adj. clutch cable.

Im looking to spend a total of $200 and get...
short shifter, clutch cable, and "t-style" ****.

Would a big show be the place to go and get one direct?

aftermarket cables are ****. ive gone through a steeda cable and a upr cable. each lasted about 9 months. stick with the oem cable.

as for a quadrant and firewall adjuster, i like my steeda setup.

btw...200 for everything you listed will probably get you low quality products.

$200 will get him really low quality products.

Plan on spending about $175 on a shifter, $20-25 on the ****, and $60-$100 on a quadrant/cable/adjuster setup

well it allows you to adjust where the clutch starts to engauge. i have a upr line though so all i had to do is install it and turn the quadrant untill i like where it was. I haven't had a problem with my cable at all and i drive and hour a day every day with the car.
