depends on who its from, some have good luck with them, and for the others thier shifters break in half while driving. Save your money and at least get a b&m, or skunk2.

Invest in a name brand shifter or if your on a tight budget get a gsr shifter.

i've heard too many stories of ebay short shifters breaking, jus get a quality brand name one. Some things are jus not worth buying cheap.

I have a cheap Megan Racing single bend short shifter -- it's held up fine and it only cost $25 bucks shipped.. Granted, if I could choose again, I'd select a single bend skunk2 shifter, but this one works fine paired with a Skunk2 weighted shift ****.

If someone is selling a name brand shifter, like Skunk2 or something, I would trust ebay as long as the seller has a good trade rating. I would stay away if the shifter is off brand or if the seller is faulty
