Default Short Shifter

There is a Skunk 2 Shortshifter for sale on ebay for 99 dollars free shipping

Is it worth it?

What do you think or so i just go with a cheap ebay one

Regards
Paul

Go with the cheap one... I've only heard one or two horror stories of short-shifters breaking... just don't take all the anger out on your shifts and you should be fine. You should probably get some new polyurethane bushings while you're at it... I've heard they make a world of difference.

I got my short shifter from CosmoRacing.com. Its not ebay crap but its still cheap. It fit great and I havent had a problem with it for the 4 or 5 months I have had it in. Dont waste more money than you have to. Remember, its only a piece of metal.
