Funny story about this...

My friend Tony had a nice 240SX hatch and he bought this POS eBay short shifter. Well, we we're out on 95 one night and we we're doing pulls against each other (240SX, EG hatch, GSXR 750<-me) and what do ya know, the shifter pulls up and out of his car. It broke at over 100MPH.

Definitely get a brand name of some kind, not eGay.

the short shifter that came with my da just broke two days ago,in the middle of an intersection! im getting a b&m

horrid.

:shock: you let others drive your car :shock:

exaclty what i was thinking hahaha

I had one, went back to stock. I do have urethane bushings, feels smooth.

I had a Fidanza, which was the last thing I will ever buy from them.

I remember that.

Yes buy new bushing if your installing a new shifter, unless your old one is still gin great condition.

I like my B&M short shift better than the stock, but like everyone else said go name brand, I got the first one for free ( outta the junk yard I work P/T at (not name brand) ) It was two days and it broke. So the name is worth it.
