yes it will, i put one in this weekend :) there are lots of brands, if you are like me and just want a shrot throw, go eBay, but other's say like Skunk2, B&M, Hurst, stuff like that. i think the hurst short throw is only like 40 bucks, so its not that bad and its Hurst (known very well in the domestic world)

Yeah, Ive got one, love it, 90civicracer has one, he loves it...definetely worth the money, I went ebay and have had absolutely no probs with it, so I say get what you want, but overall, short throws are a great investment.

does it really make a difference if you get a cheap one compared o an exspensive one.

I can get the vibrant ones $58 bucks.
They all work the same. But the cheaper ones are also known to break right below the threads.

I bought a $30 aluminum one (OBX) and it broke just below the threads, in traffic, during light driving...i think the aluminum's may become flawed & weakend after the threads are cut in them.
I then bought the B&M Edge, and although a quality steel product, it isn't curved, so IMO it is too close to the dash once installed...I would make sure you get:
1. - a curved unit, so it angles back toward you in the car..
2. - a steel unit that hopefully won't break.
Other than it being straight, I love my B&M in my sedan. If I had the money right now and a real need, I'd get a Neuspeed. :iceslolan
