B&M ripper help
B&M ripper help I am winning this on ebay right now http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...MEBI%3AIT&rd=1
The seller told me that I can resuse my stock bolts and such to install this, is that correct? I also was told by someone else that there should be washers or something that comes with this unit to allow for the different positionings of the shift lever. Basically what I am asking is if I get only what is in the pictures, is that all I will need? Without the washers will the shifts still be short? Sorry for the dumb questions but I am new to all of this. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Yes new hardware comes with it, with different washers to locate the shifter neutral/forward or back. Back or neutral is prefered on our cars, as the forward position would put your hand into the radio/ac on a 2-3 shift.
the way the base of the shifter is designed, the washers fit in flush with the top, in a long oval shape.
Honeslty good luck winning that auction for very cheap. I bid on a couple before I bought mine new. A couple ended up in the 130-ish range, which you should just buy new.
Good luck on it, I'm sure you can make it work, somehow, nothing I'd do though. Might call or email B&M and ask them for the hardware...

Thanks for the help guys. If somehow I do end up winning it for this cheap, do you think there is a way I can make it work? The guy told me that no hardware at all comes with it. Would I be screwed then if I couldn't get the stuff from B&M?
