Short shifter - Cheap ebay type
I did my ~$50 ebay short shifter install.
It looks identical to the B&M unit for $295.
I found that I had to modify it a bit so it could reach full throw.
I had to grind a bit of aluminum off the bottom where it interferes with the plastic frame and I also had to grind a bit of plastic off the frame to clear the pivot bolt.
I also ground the pivot bolt where it protrudes past the nut.
I don't like the slop in the pivot bolt but I'll drive it first to see if I like the results overall, and if so I'll take it apart again and put some proper metal spacers and some teflon washers to remove the slop.
I also found about $20 in coins when I removed all the console parts, that will lighten the car considerably
