Short Shifter question

I have a 96 2.2 Cav and I'm looking to install a short shifter to replace the stock.

The only one I've been able to find is the B&M short shifter which is very pricey. B&M makes one for 00 and up and for 95-99 models. Of course the one I want is more expensive. Fidanza only makes a shifter for the 00 and up cavs.

Does anyone know if there is actually a difference in the two models?

Also, does anyone know of any other manufacturers that make a short shifter for my 96?

if all else fails....hacksaw =D lol

do a search for short shifter...you will find a forum i posted wit like 2 different short shifters and i asked peoples opinion...ultimately i went with the B&M short shifter and upon installing it i proceaded to fuck up my 2000 cavalier horrible...i am axually fixing it as we speak by replacing the shift cables.. but do a search for short shifters or look up my posts...its very helpful and a bunch of people replyed

Can I ask what you did to screw up your Cav so that I can avoid doing the same thing?

Also, you installed a short shifter for your 2000 cav. I have a 96, which for some reason lists a different short shifter from B&M. One for 95-99 and one for the 00 and up.

well what i screwed up u cant screw up cuz the connection links to the shift cables in your car are difffernet...mine connect wit a clip urs are like metal clips...i broke my plastic clip...unless ur superman...ur metal clip should b fine...go with the B&M
