Default 1 or 2 bend short shifter?

sorry i meant 1 or 2 bend


what is the difference between the two?

im planning on buying a skunk2 short shifter for my da. i noticed my car has a 2 bend in it but i believe originally they come with a 1 bend..

what is the difference between the two? im sure they each place the **** in different locations..which one do you guys prefer?

Never seen a 3bend?

I'd go with 2 bend, places it in a good spot, either that, or no bends.

2-bend FTW

Single bend makes the shifter lean backwards in neutral = blah... no bend puts shifter farther away from you in neutral = blah

The choice is clear.

Not trying to thread jack but I am also getting one here soon. I am debating between the skunk2 dual bend and the buddy club dual bend. Any input? Also what is this about them breaking?

Almost all of EBay's stuff sucks, except my car
I am thinking as long as it's a name brand (skunk2, buddy club, etc.) it will be fine.

I believe this would be due to where your seat is positioned.


I have a skunk2 single bend in my DC, no problems with **** position or anything.

I say go single bend.

I have a skunk 2 in my da right now. It's a single bend i believe and it is a little bit too far away but i also have my seat back pretty far (i'm 6`4) i like it though, i've had it for almost 4 months and i haven't had any problems with it. I'd stay away from anything from ebay...most of it is **** anyways...
Ebay = ****

from what i've heard skunk2 is really good choice to get. because there's a shop that used to sell those cheapo's and now all they carry is skunk2.

i've also heard good stuff about evasive short shifters, unless someone can give alittle insight.....

I've had an AutoZone aluminum shifter in my car for almost 5 years, never any problems and it shifts like buttah.
