is there really a diff in a skunk2 and a cheap one? like off ebay

 

not really xcept your paying out the *** for a skunk 2 one..

make sure if your gonna buy one from ebay get one with neoprene bushings NOT BEARINGS in the bottom..

 

This has been discussed many times, do a quick search. SKUNK2 short shifter > Ebay Shifter

 

i got a fidanza for $19 new. looks good, works great. and it isnt ebay where you have to worry about quality

 

Usually the material. The steel shifters are more expensive and less prone to snapping.

 

i picked up a cheap short throw from a local shop, didnt have any brand just a blue shifter and it has stood up to repeated track use so i have yet to see a difference

 

Usually they make the 20 dollar ones out of a cheaper material, where skunk2 probably makes it out of a better material.

PS:

You do pay a lot for the name though.

 

Get a Fastline shifter.

naw.. just get a stcok gsr ..

 

i got a 3A Racing short shifter ill sell you that fits most acura and like 96-99 civic for 15 never been used

 

i knew a kid who used a ebay short shifter and he sanpped it going into third at the track..and when i mean snap i mean broke it right off

 

Yes there is a big difference. It's not just the money.

I have installed 3 Skunk2 's on our cars and one B&M in one of our crews Interga. The Skunk2's are much better to shift then that B&M.

I would not waste the 20 or 30 on a cheap a$$ shifter. The shifter is some you use...how many times each day...what's that old saying...you get what you pay for.
