i just bought a 99 eclipse GS (im a newbie to the import scene) and i want a short shifter for it but dont know who to go to. i know all the big names but have never used any of them before. any suggestions or input would be great. thx

 

The best i've come across so far are B&M shifters. It has sort of a "direct feel", like other shifters feel more loose or not together, but the B&M retains the original shifter feeling. I like it and would recommend it.

 

i just went and looked at nopi.com - not a bad price but there were two pics when i looked at it....whats the difference if any? (sorry im import retarded) just so used to mustangs....

 

Don't worry about it, there are two products B&M sells. They have the Short Shifter Kit and then the Short Shifter Handle. The handle costs less than the entire kit, and for the most part is a good choice. It doesn't allow the adjustability of the entire shifter kit, but is still a shorter throw than stock oem. The shift point(pivot point) doesn't change with the handle, but for the price, it's a pretty good deal I hear. Not to say anything bad about nopi, but you can probably find shifter or handle cheaper elsewhere. The cheapest place may be ebay, but you'll have to look to find it.
