Default Finding those Unicorn parts for your ITR

No better feeling than when you find one of those hard to find uber rare parts like a C's Short Shifter with the double bend for DC2 and in BNIB condition for a 1/3 of the price it was new years ago.

Congrats on the score! I was secretly hoping it was the driver position shifter but those are near impossible to find and crazy expensive.

Yes, Funny enough from a 2 year old post. I searched Google and saw a 2012 sale post on here and guy had his cell listed so I took the shot in the dark and offered him $125 (these were 250-300 new 10 years ago)
Asked a friend from HT in NJ to grab it for me and just installed it yesterday, the smoothness of the shifting is as great as I remember.

Feels like I'm back home, just with new neighbors and a few familiar faces.
