I've looked everywhere and can't seem to find a B&m short shifter for 97...only the 2000 up..what gives?
Rememeber kids... spell check is your friend
They are not made anymore. You'll have to buy a used one if you want a B&M.

link to the ebay kit..i'd rather spend the money and get the b&m since since its tried and true...but if the ebay is a good improvement over stock i'll try it out.

here.
also,
here.
same exact kit, and seeing as you wont find a new b&m anywhere, this is your best bet. i recommend replacing the shift cables with the shifter, as it makes a huge difference in the feel of the car.

how much are shift cables...they dont seem hard to replace.
Rememeber kids... spell check is your friend
...and whys one so much more than the other
Rememeber kids... spell check is your friend
the ebay one is pretty much a copy of the b&m and does the same job. dont fret on brand names. thats all they are... names.
i agree on new shift cables. they wear out.
Every time I scream "Release", I mean it, you know it. I feel the day. Black 7.

Rememeber kids... spell check is your friend
so just order the one from i love body kits and be on my way? I take it my local parts store would have shift cables.

I have the ebay short throw shifter.
Same thing as B&M shifter.
think im gonna order the i love body kits one and write up a review
how hard is the install?
Rememeber kids... spell check is your friend
The ebay one is great, I have it.
I know a couple guys who produce ebay products for a living. Ones dad owns a machine shop so they can basically use whatever whenever. They buy 1 "name brand" thing (usually popular items for popular vehicles i.e. ricer parts for civics, cavs, and the like) then they spec it out and duplicate it. Then they sell everything on ebay, including the original unless they use it on a car their own and typically like quadruple their money. And they typically have the coolest @!#$ out at the lot meets here. So basically if its a 100% exact copy then who cares?!
