i see the skunk2 shortshifters for 110$ and then i see some aftermarket ones for like 30$ or cheaper...

are all shortshifters the same or skunk2 makes there different??..

or is just the brand im buying..?

 

To a certain point you're buying the name, you're also paying for a better quality product, I've seen cheaper "eBay" shifters break though. When you buy a name brand product you're buying the R&D that comes from a real company, sooner or later the more knock offs that get bought the more real companies that will go out of business. After that there will be no after market and therefore nothing to knock off, that's why I always buy the real deal, it's worth it to keep the products coming.

 

just get the skunk2

 

I really wouldn't trust an eBay short shifter or any aluminum one for that matter. They have a high tendency to break from what people say on various forums. Just go with the tried and true Skunk2 and not have anything to worry about. Cheap stuff usually means cheap quality so you will eventually have to replace it when something goes wrong later on and spend just as much money in the end.

 

ON SALE! i already got mines GET THIS **** WONT BREAK LIKE SHITTY EBAY

Skunk2 uses steel and is heavier and stronger than the cheap eBay aluminum shifters. There are other alternatives to Skunk2 such as MFactory (pretty much the same as Sk2) and Buddy Club. Both use steel.

 

i used an ebay shifter for 6 years didnt break at all. then went to skunk2 and theres no difference

 

i hate the skunk2 one.. but my friend likes it.. havent broken yet... id stick to jus stock regular integra shifter etc..

 

a friend of mine broke an ebay shifter switching into third gear a little to ohard apparently haha. I would go with Skunk2 or B&M, both quality. Skunk2 comes with the name.

 

the skunk2 his heavier..better to throw into gears.spend the money and get the good one..not the cheapo ebay one

 

your ebay shifter hasnt broken yet becasue you been granny shifting when you should be power shifting your allmotors

 

And not double-clutching like he should

 

i use a B&m short shifter, about $50 bucks

 

lol

 

Skunk2 shifters are nice. But I have an AutoZone $40 short throw that I bought nearly EIGHT YEARS ago and I've never had a single problem with it. And yes, I have done my fair share of hard shifting. The shifter height is the same as stock, but the throws are much shorter. It has metal bearings in the bottom, unlike other POS shifters (B&M included) where you have to re-use the stock rubber crap from the stock shifter, which makes the shifter feel sloppy.

Most of the time I've used shift ***** that attach with set screws below the threaded portion of the shifter, which I'm sure helps prevent the shifter from breaking. But right now I'm using my stock shifter on the threads and still no problems.

 

this is the third "short shifter" thread in two days. search and you will find billions of threads on this topic.

 

B&M I had it worked great..If you get a weighted shift **** like Blox/Skunk2 you'll really feel the diffrence

 

I will throw TWM Performance's name into the hat as well. I have a shifter/**** combo from them and it is exquisite.
