if i can not say the name, i do not buy

B&M come clear out of my mouth

i have that same one. it works absolutly perfect although some modification might be required. i needed to sand part of the ball that sticks out the side so that the plastic sleeve would fit over top of it. but it is a very tight and clean shifter. The shifter knob is heavy as hell and absolutly sucks ass in winter since it gets to the same temp it is outside lol.

cool thanks and just to check this says for cavy but both sunfire and cavy shifter are the say yes? so this will work just fine?

yes, all 00+ getrag trannies (sunfire/cavalier) can use the exact same short shifter. all the exact same bolt in design.

They're all generic from China, anyways... Leave the actual B&M shifter, which has been copied by many other manufacturers.

Don't Be Fooled By Cheap Imitations!


Beware - looks can be deceiving. Some say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. But in the case of your shifter and your transmission’s health - it could spell trouble.
Big trouble.

Recently a lot of overseas manufacturers have been flooding the market with sub-standard shifters that look a lot like B&M’s. But that’s where the similarity ends. More importantly, these weak, imprecise and unreliable knock-off shifters can potentially cause serious damage. Protect yourself and confirm that you are buying a genuine B&M Precision Sport Shifter. The money you saved on the cheap knock-off will be short-lived when you’re replacing your transmission. B&M is the undisputed world leader in manual shifter applications. With over 200 applications and a rapidly growing R&D list, we plan on keeping the title for years to come. Don't short-change yourself just to save a couple dollars on the front end - a B&M shifter will be the last shifter you'll ever buy. And with our million-mile warranty, you're guaranteed satisfaction.

We are very proud to say that our Precision Shifters are supplied to tuners and OEMs throughout the world. You can find our shifters in Porsche, Mazda, Ford, Gemballa and other vehicles. No other shifter company can match our deep involvement on the OEM level....or our total commitment to quality for our customers who buy them.

B&M offers a Lifetime Warranty against defect on their manual and automatic shifters. This warranty does not cover damage caused by improper use or installation, and does not apply if used for racing.

Agreed by Karo's quotes. Support USA manufactured products. There is quality behind the B&M with NO modifications, unlike eBay specials.

B&M All the way i love it

How am I suppose to support B&M when they dont even make it for the 95-99 Isuzu anymore?

They dont make it anymore because they did not sell enough...

Most likely due to the fact to many customers purchased "china manufactured ones, that are USA knock offs"

This will continue to happen, I am sure, which will put USA companies out of business...

i wish i could afford a b and m, being a highschool student on a mcdonalds salary is tough, espically when im trying to buy some rims too, to me the b and m price tag is steep, espically when i have read many people saying they have had no problems with ebay shifter.
i certainly wont be dropping the 150+ on a b and m, i was just looking for a cheap substitute. Do you think b and m would forgive me if i bought the cheap one now and when im done post seconary school and get a real job ill buy the b and my for my camaro ill also buy?

Yea its a shame that oversesa companies are slowly putting US companies out of business but like i said its really hard to support US companies with other companies make a quailty product for alot less, like in the case with short shifters.

Once china puts USA business out of jobs, that puts our (USA people) out jobs also, which is an effect that is taking place. So we wont have money, and china will.... One reason I personally believe why the USA dollar is not worth as much.

So you cant think of it as saving money, when you buy USA goods, you support your country; and allow your family members to have jobs.

It's all fine and dandy to support you local economy, as of yet I'm unaware of any Canadian companies producing short shifters as I am from canada.

I think that this is turning more into "support B and M, support the american economy rather than yes ebay shifters are great or no ebay shifters are garbage.
I'm going to support the americans soon also as i plan on buying products from TTR and the like but 150 for a B and M is just out of the question for my sunfire. I just want to here about people experiences with the ebay shifters.

I have probs with the Genkei install, my console is tore apart right now...it wont go into 1st gear @ all...and i snapped the lil plastic shift retainer...anyone have any ideas what i did wrong(besides buy a foreign shifter)
