If you got the dual bend like I did, make sure its bending towards you., not towards the console.

like this or otherway?

 

If im looking at it right (console is to the right, seats to the left) then yeah, it looks about right. Is your **** tall? I never really had a problem with mine.

 

its bending the wrong way...it needs to lean towards you

 

Look at the pic. The seat is to the left. He has it right.

 

while on the topic of short shifters, i know b&m and skunk 2 make very nice ones, but has anyone had any experience with the eBay stainless steel shifters? i know everyone trashes the aluminum ones which are like 15$ and they are ****, but ive heard the 25$ stainless steel ones are good

 

The difference between a good piece and a bad piece is usually way more than $10.....
Good Luck.

 

the crappy ebay shifters with the stupid bearing in the end of em are pieces of ****!! theyre too long on the bottom and hit your exhaust. dont waste money

 

OEM FTW
Short Shifter = Tranny Death

 

I love my APC short shifter. I drove my friends coupe with a stock shifter and was fukin up hard (I've had my shorty for a year 1/2 and only car I drive). I much rather prefer the small throw. (Didn't help gearing was way different)

As for tranny death that's only if you don't know how to shift. My trans sucks and it does fine.

 

to be completely honest, i have had a couple eBay cheapo's and have never had any problems with em...my 2.5" exhaust went around it perfectly. the throw was actuall really short, the distance from 1st to 2nd gear with the short shifter was a tad bit shorter than the distance from neutral to 1st gear with OEM

 

does ebay make dual bends too? i just like the feel of a dual bend shifter, like a gsr replica

 

ebay make everything!

 

How so?

 

will it ruin your tranny

 

A short shifter does not = tranny death. The OPERATOR causes tranny death because he/she does not change his shifting style to compensate for the fact that the short shifter now allows you to shift the tranny that much faster!

 

I've got the Blox dual bend I like it a lot very quality piece, clean precise, smooth shifter, the stock was badly degraded anyway

 

Didn't know Ebay was making parts now days

 

just broke my ebay shifter today :/ i wasnt even shifting it hard the threads broke inside my ebay type r shift **** haha
