Default best short shifter

ok guys, now there are a grip of short shifters out there. question is, which one is the best?

Rogue Engineering?
B&M?
or the ebay one for 80 bucks?

i believe the Rouge is the most expensive, but there is a group buy for them now, then the B&M, which sells on ebay for ~150, then the 80 dollar ebay wonder.

anybody?

I recently purchased the 350EVO short shifter. I'll post a review after install. Its supposed to be really smooth because it has ball bearings.

I have the B&M. 50/50 IMO. Shorter throws but really notchy.
In the morning, I almost get locked out of 1st and 2nd gear until everything warms up. If I had a chance to choose again, I'd look for something else.

Got my 350EVO short shifter today!! Goes in on Thursday. I don't know how short the other shifters are but this thing is pretty small. 10-3/4" overall length.

You got the shifter cup too! I'll be looking forward to your review. I am going to get this after the holidays (or maybe before?).

the Mossy adjustable short-throw is the best in my opinion.

This is the only shifter that adjusts both above and below the fulcrum. When you pull up on the release sleeve collar from the highest position, it unlocks the shifter handle and it drops down, lowering the shift **** at the same time lengthening the shifter below the fulcrum, therefore shortening the throw both above and below. The shifter arm is a solid piece of 17-4 stainless steel that is hardened to 40 Rockwell along with some of the important internals. Basically stronger than the same material in a forged steel crankshaft. Your gonna break your arm before you can even bend this baby.

The ability to adjust this shifter to what feels good for you is no different than changing the tilt of your steering wheel. Everyone will have their own preference and not everyone is going to like where you might have it set. What makes this cool is that now, for the first time, you can adjust the height and throw of your stick shift to how you want it.

oh yea, you even get a factory socket.

I e-mailed Mossy and this is what they told me. There e-mail by the way is GregV@mossy.com . Maybe someone could e-mail them about a group buy.

"On new release special $250

Email or call in your shipping and billing info.

I need the following info:

Ship to name

Ship to address

Billing name

Billing address

Phone#

Email address

Credit Card #

Expiration date

(if AMEX I need 3 or 4 digit check # above last #s)

Or call 866.55.MOSSY (866.55 66 77 9)



Thanks,

Greg V

so the nismo and mossy are the same thing?
(kind of like the AEM+Nismo Cold Air Intakes?) would the Nismo short shifter then be under warranty?

zillinois, i'm looking forward to your 350evo review, thanks

BJ @ 350EVO said I was the first street car to have it. My car goes under the knife tomorrow. Should be back Friday or Monday.

I'm sure there just a little biased, but they said it was awesome. They said that it smoothed out the notchiness.
