I am looking for a short shifter for my 94 Teg RS and i can get both of them for the same price - so money is not a factor - but what i wanted to know is which one is better quality? and which one i should get -

Thanks - Brad

 

ebay brand

haha... actualy, my ebay one rattles liek a mother ****** but it works just as great as a skunk2 or whatever... really short shift

 

DC is crap. Ive seen a few of them snap, and heard of a dozen more.

 

what about using a B&M short shifter ?

has anyone had any problems with the Skunk2?

 

there was another thread comparing skunk2 to b&m. skunk2 ownz for short shifters.

 

yeah man my ebay one rattled all the time until I got my Tanabe exhaust.

 

does anybody personally have one?? pros/cons about it?

 

I have the DC and I hace nothing but positive things to say about it. I would def go with it over the skunk 2. I also heard the skunk 2 shifter doesnt sit any lower than the stock shifter . But I might be wrong.

 

Skunk 2 without a doubt.

Skunk 2 design is nice, doesn't rattle and has a double bend.

I have a B&M. I fixed the rattles and others don't like the straight design. I sit close to the wheel and the 3rd and 5th gear shifts I don't need to reach. One reason I didn't like the stock shifter cause the 1st to 2nd shift was awkward.

 

Neuspeed is the way to go, but thats not an option

 

Anything but the eBay brand will do fine. You'll get what you pay for.

I got the DC one and have had it since October. No problems here.

 

I say Skunk2, but I have a B&M and the stright design doesn't bother me. I think for a Stainless steel shifter for only 60 bucks it's hard to beat. It doesn't rattle at all, just make sure eveything is screwed down tight

 

skunk 2 IMO only thing dc sports makes thats good quality is headers

 

i have the dc shifter coupled with the dc shift **** for about 2 yrs now and no problems at all. I don't know how ppl snap their dc shifters, you must have to be shifting with some serious force to break that ****!!

 

i had the bm and sold it to get the skunk2. skunk2 is extremely durable, and yes it does sit like an inch higher, but for a short person like me, i like it extremely short throw.

 

when i was doing research between the two, all signs pointed to skunk2.. all i read about was rattle and fitment issues with the DC.

 

I have the dc, it fits fine and works really well. Sits lower than stock.

 

why is that bad? cause it gets in the way of your "stunna/gangsta lean" while driving?

 

Skunk2 shifter is NICE. I don't have any experience with one installed in a car, though. I have had a $40 generic shifter from AutoZone for over 1.5 years with no problems, no rattles, and it's shaped same as stock, too. However I would love to have a Skunk2 shifter, I just don't want to pay the money for one.

 

stock!

 

so does the Skunk2 sit any lower than stock - if yes, how much lower. b/c with the Skunk2 shift **** the shift boot sits like 2 inches from the bottom of the ****.

 

iv had both the B&M and the Skunk2. and i can honestly say go with skunk2 without a doubt. ull love it

 

hell no, stock shifter sucks, all rubbery feeling and stuff

 

IMO it looks a lot better when the shifter sits lower. Expecially if you have an aftermarket shift ****.
