i dont see how people say u get what u pay for when they are the same damn design as b&m so imo id go with it bc its the same mechanism in the physical world which you can't change. its not like your applying a 1000lb force to it or anything

i wasn't talk about the sharft i was talking about the connections and springs, they look like lower qualtiy. I think it will work just not as good as a B&M

bite the bullet and go for the B&M....you know what you're getting....."They have been designed specifically for the more aggressive tuner who demands the most extreme shifter in terms of both looks and performance." (1st site)...were not tuners.....we're performance enthusiasts lol

You do get what you pay for. If these were the same as b&m, v&s, stratmosphere and others everybody would be over it. All short shifters feel different, and how do you know you aren't going to get one that feels like crap. They could very well engage smoothly and shorten the throw alot but you dont know, untill you buy one or get feedback from someone with one.

exactly and im surprised no one hasnt bought one that you can get feedback from. ya i mean your probally right in the aspect that its not going to feel as firm but it will shorten your shifts.
