Yeah, I think you have to ghetto them in a bit and I've heard of them breaking but I tell you what, my Talon wont be getting any short throw over $50.

My ebay shifter works great, and it was only $46.

If I own a new car, I wont mod a thing, leave the way its, if I was you I leave that lancer stock.

In the future like to own a G35.

Yeah especially you SRT boy. You can get the stage 4 that puts down what, 350 to the wheels AND its 100% covered under factory warranty? Fuckers

1999 BMW 325i black on 19" black with polished lip and reeeeaallly dark tint. I am almost considering selling both Talons and the Cavalier to get one.

I've got a cheapo shifter from ebay. I like it. Came with no instructions and I didn't find them until AFTER I installed it. :-( It's great. However, I had to take it apart a couple months back for something that I don't even remember. The threads on the inside Shifter Pivot became stripped. Don't know how that happened, but it assembeled fine. I figure I'm going to have to buy a new one eventually, but it's holding up great. It's also good to keep the stock one around, just in case too

I've heard mixed reviews on these cheap shifters...some folks have horror stories to tell about how the shifters just collapse, other's say they last forever. I would personally just go for a known B&M type. I got my B&M for the Spyder for $125 shipped. Install instructions were crystal clear, and I installed it in 20 mins (and I am stupidly slow).
