Ordered a short shifter from http://www.raretrick.com for $15, under the clearance page. It's advertised as "Forged 304 Stainless Steel. Reduces throw up to 46%. B&M Made and Designed for quick hard throws." Another $10 for shipping.



It isn't an actual B&M, but looks like a copy. The accompanying instructions say it's from "Mackin Industries" but it's not the bent Mackin shifter sold by Evasive either. Also, the Evasive and B&M are both advertised to be made of 303 stainless while this one is 304 stainless. It is HEAVY.

I'll install it after I pickup some ES bushings and a new shift ****.

 

Actually Raretrick has the bent ones if you were to have asked him.

 

What companies make the double bend ones? My short throw is a cheapy one right now but it has no bends and i feel like it sits too close to the dash...

Does that one above only come in straight and single bend?

i have a skunk2 dual bend and i really like it....

 

looks like a decent shifter....i wouldnt buy it tho

 

how's it feel? i dont like my 'notchy' short shifter. and its way too short of a throw.

 

I have the EVASIVE one, but I like the original single bend B&M more ... I dunno, it just feels better to me

 

are you suppose to use your OEM pieces in the bottom of that shifter? or does it come with its own bearings...

 

I believe you use oem stuff on a B&m. Thats prolly the same.

 

APC has a double bend shifter i have it on my civic and its not that expensive either

I just emailed him and found out that both the dual bend and non-bent are on clearance ... wish I knew sooner but I hope I like the non-bent more!

It uses OEM pieces on the bottom. It comes with a packagage of replacement o-rings though.
