Hi,
Definitely ones that I would NOT RECOMMEND!!!!! I bought it off of Ebay for a ridiculously low price. It is one of the ones that have NO NAME just NUMBERS and I have come to understand why. Anyway, this guy basically takes your cash and leaves out out to dry....never returns any correspondences...just doesn't care.

Always goes back to the 'ol saying, "you get what you pay for".
Does the seller's user I.D. happen to be a2rinc based out of Addison, Texas?

I have the short shift kit and I wouldn't be so gun happy to say he sells good products. Yes the material is good and works,but it doesn't come with instructions, or contact number for support and they install completely unneccasary parts that confused the **************** out of me today when I was installing mine(maybe it's just me).

What was unneccesary? Did you make sure to rotate the shift lever so it bends the correct way? I didnt need instructions anyway, didnt bother me. My shifter was great.

Hi,
Sorry, I'm not familiar with their products. Maybe I'll have to take a closer look the next time I'm on the Bay.

OK, still working on the last nut on the cat side--this time on the passenger's side. It's located at the tip /top. (see picture from driver's side cat "stud" that broke---same one, but on the other side). I don't want to have to take down the entire side from the cat back. Any more knowledgeable guys out there have any suggestions or know of any trick(s) to get to it.

Thanks in advance.

The second set of nut/screw are unneccesary,I thought about it for a long and then looked at the B & M instructions,theirs doesn't use it because it's useless. I just finished installing my shifter and I love the feel,not too far from stock but shorter. I'm pleased! Now to take it out for a spin!

Here's an updated picture of the obstructed passenger side (cat side) nut. Sorry, the picture is sideways and my finger may be in the way. Anyway, the nut in question is on the far right.

Thanks.

So is this one stuck or did it snap?
