I've heard of them snapping off.

Like everyone said, they break off. Including megan brand. Go for B&M, skunk2, and the popular one. When getting a short shifter, make sure you get new polyurthane bushing =]

For the most part they are fine. People only hear the bad things. These are sol left and right, and probably half of the people on the forum have them.
I mean, if 1000 are sold, and only 5 of those breaks, you should be fine. Its not that expensive anyways.


My brother has one in his car, its fine so far. When I drive it, I shift hard as f**k.

ya they break when a gorrilla is speed shifting. if u take care of it like anything else itll last. id say go for it. cant beat the price. u could always buy a new one and still be cheaper than a b&m. they arent that hard to install

my guy had one on his teg, it snapped in half while he was driving. i wouldn't get an ebay one.

buy the real thing, support the real companies no the copy cats

thanks for the input guys imma see bout buying a shifter in the next couple weeks just wanted to know. i dont shift that hard only a stock D series the reason i wanna change my shifter is because apparently when i got my car the savage that owned it previously cut it and didn't make the f**kin threads so i glued da shift knob with gorilla glue lmfao so i guess i have a OEM short shifter lol imma try to find a DIY on how to install the new shifter but i'll prolly save and buy a branded one

 

[immajackuup]

b&m cost 55 new

 

[dyrcivic]

bought one 4 years ago and the same shifter between two cars still nice and hard

if you don't drive like a manic and shift hard as s**t then you should be fine with it.

but if you have the money buy skunk 2 or b&m

 

[civic_stewie]

i have had one for close to 2 years now and not one problem cost me 5 bucks!!! and i'm also pretty hard on it.

 

[JDMneeds]

damn i just bought a megan brand one, do they really just snap in half like that?

 

[wazup_74]

I too have heard bad things about the ebay ones. Yeah it's cheap and it probably does happen to less than 1% of those sold but i would rather support the other companies that might actually put money into research and not just copying others.


BTW, where are you all finding these $55 B&M's? Cheapest i've seen is $90! Link?

 

[JDMneeds]

supporting companies is alright i guess if u have the money but they dont support my pocket so f**k them lol

 

[kreatine30]

dont do it, it will brreak trustme

 

[Kaotic_Zeus]
