Default B&M Short Shifter

I'm ordering mine in a week! I'm looking to buy it through AWE Tuning but is there an alternative? What's the usual turn-around time?

i've heard some mixed things about the ebay ones. i've heard some stories on the forums about some fitmit issues, and one time someone had to use a few layers on tin foil to fix an excessive gap. after that he definately reccommended getting a brand name one, dont remember his user name tho. thoughts?

i got dieselgeek, and am so happy with it, it was a little bit cheaper than the b&m but im glad i also eliminated the push down reverse...

my dieselgeek came fully assembeled, i wouldnt want to have to deal with all those parts ^^

^the push down reverse is good though so you don't accidently shift into "6th" on a 5-speed correct?
