shifter
The mp3 has an extender removed to make it appear shorter. The throw however is the same. Do a search and your bound to find some info on how to remove the extension. For a shorter throw b&m makes a short throw shifter. Try protege5online.com.
I know they have it for something like 145$$. Enjoy the info!

we will be selling a shifter combo much like we have for the subarus. that retails for 125.00 (most likely we'll have a special intro price for a little while)
the shifter will be sold seperatly and the bushings too. in case a customer only wants one or the other.
i will try and give you a update in the next day as to a more definate ETA on the kits. they are still being turned at the CNC shop as of thursday last week

Pro_fan: would it be possible if you buy the shifter and ship it to us? We don't have Mopac in ON. I ran a search on the yellowpage and it's only in Calgary and Vancouver. Here in Ontario the cheapest I've seen is $360 + tax. I'm sure there are better deals out there but it won't be even close to $209.
Even with shipping it'll be cheaper than getting it from the States...and only one tax too.

We got the first few finished tday. we'll be installing them in a few local cars to make 100% sure its right.
we should be able to have them for mass consumption within a week.
intro pricing is as follows:
Shifter 85.00+Shipping
Shifter Combo 100+Shipping
Bushings are still 20+Shipping.
i will make a proper announcement when they are completed
