neuspeed! it's more than double the price! I just had the DC put in with only neuspeed bushings. It doesn't rattle, it's nice and tight. Materials: DC Shifter $110; Bushings $12.

dang, my generic shifter is 100% exactly the same as the DC in every respect and was only $40.

I've heard of DC shifters snapping. :ugh:
as for the generic one...it might be just like the DC. My friend has a generic one from Auto Zone. it feels cheap (way too light), the shifts feel cheap, and it's way too tall.

Mine from AutoZone feels pretty nice. Height is exactly the same as stock, but with my shift knob the total height is a good 2" shorter than with the stock knob. My shifter will not snap, not at the threads anyway, because my shift knob attaches w/ setscrews far below the threads, almost down to the first bend.

I have also heard of DC's snapping, and generic ones probably aren't any more rigid. If you have the cash, Neuspeed or C's is the way to go.

anyone with a B&M shifter, does it end up being a longer reach since it doesn't have bends like the stock shifter? And where can I get a good deal on a Neuspeed shifter? Thanks.

I have a dc sports short shifter, i like it and have had no problems with it. It does not bump the heat shield or anything. Also, i installed neuspeed bushings, it made it a lot more precise and the shift feels really positive. I would recommend, but it seems like others have quite a differing opinion
