Cheapo ebay shifters. I probably know the answer to this question, but I was wondering about those ebay cheapo shifters. Are they any good? I'm doing my t56 swap soon and don't want to use a factory shifter.

Not sure if this is legal but I'm quoting an ebay ad. This is what I was looking at.

I'd be ok with it. Kind of hard to mess up a shifter like that. Unless you're hercules, and have terrible syncros, you wont hurt anything.
A short throw actually puts LESS leverage on your trans parts. Good for your trans, bad for your traps and tri's haha

I was just thinking with a 20 price tag it probably would suck. But I guess maybe not. They don't seem to be made of much so I can't see why they charge 200 bucks for them.

They suck. I had one that I bought, just because it was cheap, and decided to throw it in, after I sold my SLP short throw and was waiting on my Hurst Billet/Plus, in my Camaro. It was real sloppy feeling, and I'm fairly sure it was almost a longer throw than the stocker. In 1st and 3rd, the shift **** was extremely close to the CD player. I actually punched the CD player once hitting 3rd. lol. I would advise not buying one. Not worth the hassle of changing it out.

^^^ those are very popular on here. I actually have that exact stick on my stock Hurst shifter, but I don't have a 6 speed yet haha. search the TNA short stick, Lou's short stick, WS6 store short stick, etc. on here. almost everyone loves them.
