Default ebay shifter

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Chevy...80103780QQrdZ1

Seen this and was wondering what everyone thinks about it? I know, you get what you pay for but has anyone had good luck with this shifter? Or has no one used it? Or would I be better off using the ws6 store short stick on the stock shifter? Thanks, Josh

there is already a thread on here somewhere. last time i read it though nobody had actually tried it. the majority said give it a shot because it's so cheap there is noting to lose.

I tried it a while back. The thing was a piece of ****. The shifts didn't feel very good and for some reason the stick would twist in the base a little bit, almost like it was screwed in (if that makes any sense). I kept it for about a week then ordered a B&M.

Looks very similar to stock. My Pro 5.0 "Power Tower" lives up to its name. That thing is a monster compared to stock... you can just see why it's worth it when you compare the Pro 5.0 and stock side-by-side.

Don't shortchange yourself. Save up the money and pick up a quality aftermarket. You can even find one used on here.

Thanks for the advice. I will probably put the ws6 store short stick on for now. I will probably end up with the pro 5.0.

I also love my Pro 5.0. like i said before, save up a little more money, and get something you know works well.

Just look at the wallowed out attachment holes and wonder why they are like that. I would expect every other detail to have the same"China" quality. It may fit or it may not / it may work or it may not. It certainly cannot work like products that are "engineered "to do so.
