Just a small note. Buyer beware of the $50.00 b&m knock off sold on e-bay. Make sure it comes with ALL parts. Not just the shifter by itself. Most sold for $50.00 DO NOT COME WIHT BUSHINGS nor the "C" clips. For most sold around $80-$90, they do come with everything. Look at the pictures. What you see is what you get. I made this mistake and had to buy the bushing seperate and then re-sold it on e-bay.

Are you sure it's "most"? Mine was $55 from A2inc and had everything.

Does anyone have any photos of installing the shifter?

Good info on all.

they all come with everything, you must have just gotten a bad deal fromt he seller or somethign man.
i picked up mine for 45 shipped actually, so thats kinda cool

and for the installation pics, heres the b&m site, works for b&m or clone, except for turning the lever

Not all of them come with all the parts you need. One ad is selling the short shifter for $25 but without the C-clips, what's the point?

None of the cheap ebay ones come with the lube either. Remember, you get what you pay for.

I'd also check out renntech.org if you're thinking about one of these knockoffs - there is a nice thread on the cheap ebay models. The bushings aren't the same size and while it may seem to fit right, it doesn't.

What do you mean "turn the handle"?

Just use lithium grease. $.02 worth of grease shouldn't be a factor when buying a short shift kit.

I'm starting to think Toolpants got a bad ssk. Many of us haven't had an issue with out kits from a2rinc. My 1st one I installed was snug and fit how it should have been,not loose like his bad bushing was on his kit. I'm installing two more this evening and will check for any play or obvious difference in the bushings.
