How about posting a link to a web site or some information on this product. Don't know about anyone else - but I have no idea to which product you are referring.....

I'd have to stick with Hurst, B&M, BPP or something similar. Not always, but you usually get what you pay for. JMHO

cut the stocker shorter and weld it back on at an angle like the factory c6; there's 2 kinds of people in the world--those that can weld and those that can't

Go for the C6 shifter. Nice blend of shorter throw, quiet, and smoothness.

The old saying that "you get what you pay for" certainly comes to mind here, but in this case I don't think so...I think you'd be paying about $49.99 too much!

In reading the payment details I discovered that the Engrish not two goode. Mite bee frum nover countree.
