Need a short shifter for the EF, the stock one just aint doin it for me anymore lol.

Now I've seen some advertised for EA-AU, then BA-F (I think it was, could have been E-series then AU-BF, but anyways), and they look pretty much identical, as you'd expect, however the B series are cheaper everytime.

I've been told by someone who sells them that they are the same for all of em. Anyone know?
Also can the Bseries gearknobs go straight onto E series sticks?
If not would it be worth getting a Bseries stick for the EF, and tracking down a Bseries (or aftermarket Bseries) gearknob? The one GlenBA had looked sweet as.

One last question - anyone know where to get short sticks from, and at what price? I know of 2 (possibly 3 if Bseries are the same) prices, $50 to $90 or so.

Cheers fellas

I fitted the short shifter for a BA- AU from ebay cost of $40 plus freight from Ebay it works fine but I also have a billet short shift as well I think it is about 7 cms from 1st to 5th

I like it

Which one do ya like better?

this is the one I bought

Yeh thats the one I was lookin at. The one for about $100 delivered has a bend in it though, would that be a positive change, or just something different?

you could always get the hacksaw out, nobody is going to see it! haha

Yeh I would trust a welded gearstick that much... especially if I welded it lol.

The short shifter I have fitted works OK, better than the OE unit.
