I sent questions to the sellers and I will post what (or if) they write back. this is basically what I asked them: Who is the manufacturer of this shifter and will you provide a warranty?

just wanna shed some light on the short shifters.
this is also not porsche related.
when i had a camaro with LS1 powerplant, the car came with an expencive respectable company short shifter. i found one that is even shorter for about 15 dollars on ebay and sold the other one for 170.
the quality of the 15 dollar one was wayyyy better than the other one, so i was satisfied and the shiftes were amazingly shorter and felt much 'stiffer'
also, ask if they offer returns if anything goes bad, if they do...wel give it a shot and if its good we can all get a short shifter at bargain price.
just my .02, and sorry i wasnt able to help out with the original posted shifters because i have no experience with them.

Boggtown, you may want to send a PM through eBay to some of the buyers of these short shift kits and ask them to email you after they install it with their feedback on the ease of installation and if it shifts smoothly. The seller will tell you most anything to sell the product, but the buyers have nothing to lose!

I got a reply from all 3 I sent messages to. They all basically said 1 year warranty and either: "wholesale from california", nothing at all, or from topspeed.com or something. I think I will take Todd's advice if I get one and go to a metal shop before I install it and ask what the composition of the metal in the shaft is. I might just take the leap and buy a schnell, I will have to see if anyone will buy the earrings im selling on craigslist, lol.

Hi,
FYI, B&M is the OEM Manufacturer of Porsche's own optional Short Shifter...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

Well, I went and bought the cheapest one. I put a bid at the starting price and got it for $55. We will see how well it is made when it gets here, but heck, for $55 I could buy 3 for the price of one schnell.

short shifter comments
We did the delubosparts shifter and good solid equipment. The B&M instructions are also pretty good. The results is great for the solid shifting feel. More effort is needed to shift, but who cares 
You are right, they all look alike 
Good luck,
Ed
