Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior short shifters on ebay

there's a bunch of short shifters on ebay for like under 50 bucks i was wondering would it be a good idea to get one there? i'd save a lot of money but will i get a shitty shifter for the price i pay? i would link to the auction but i'm not sure if we're allowed to am i?

Yah, you can link...you just can't do it in the For Sale forum. In my opinion, unless it's a good brand (and there's only a couple - TRD, B&M, TWM) that most of us who have short-shifters have, don't pick up some no-name shit. Buy as many cheap knock-off neon lights or whatev, but if it affects the peformance (especially your drivetrain) of your car DO NOT try and be cheap about it.

Personally I have TWM on my GT and it's tha SHIT

just buy from the stor just 60 $ more and no risk and real deal

there is absolutely nothing wrong with buying products on e-bay...what you are really looking for is what BRAND though.

for a celica shortshifter, you either want to get B&M, TWM, or TRD. these are by far the best quality shortshifters you can purchase for your car.

buying an off-brand shortshifter very often involves cheap parts, bad instruction manual, and a harder install. look on e-bay for the brands i listed above for the best deal

or the lack of an instruction manual.

cool thanks guys what would you say is the best short shifter out of the 3? (twm, trd, b&m) i'm afraid of getting one that isn't even that short but i'm sure all three of them or way lower right?

tmw is lowest obx (cheap one) is next then b&m last is trd

and i ahve the obx so don't listen to anyone of these assholes that say its shit i have so i can say its not it works fine jsut have to use the instuctions on here if not i'll give ya my damn number and tell you how to do it step by step

alright i'll take your word for it on the obx. do you mean "cheap" as in price or because people say it's shit?

people say its shit jsut because the name obx is considered a rice company so everyone hates on it .. true i prolly wouldn't get much eles from them but the ss works great

cool i may end up getting that ss, i found it for 89.99 does that price sound about right?

thanks for the info drkramm.

b&m is usually more expensive than the other 2..but you get what you pay for.

the b&m throws are the shortest, even though the twm has a lower profile

no proplem if ya need help with it let me know
