One of my friends got some kind of $20 short shifter off e-bay for his 97 gsr. What all will he need for the install ? What other parts will he need. Thanks

 

Well, let him know that he'll be replacing that thing in about 2-3 months. Those cheap short-shifters cause nothing but problems and break when shifting (many cases already, do a search and youll find them).

but since he wont listen, heres what you need. He can reuse the stock hardware to connect the shifter to the transmission arm. I recommend while under there you replace the bushings with Energy Suspension polyurethane bushings - they make a word of difference in shifter feel.

 

so just get some Energy Suspension polyurethane bushings then? were is the best place to get them at?

 

ebay

 

How much do they run, is there any other bands out there that will work?

 

$25..prothane is good too. i dunno if they do shifter bushings tho.

 

Invest the money and buy a Neuspeed... I can't say enough about mine, its awesome.
