  • 323 Short Shifter?

    I was wondering if this would fit a Festiva, since it's for a '90 323?

    Thats nice, but expensive. Don't know if it will fit.
    If it don't fit, use a bigger hammer!

          it looks like it will fit... the only problem is it may hit the exhaust under the car... mine being so long will hit and rattle the exhaust in 1st gear...

            Looks like mine, but like sasquatch says, it does look a bit long on the bottom end (that's what she said....haha). Anyway, if you want quality with a little bit of savings, you should check out the B&M short shifter. That's the one I have. Looks nice, feels nice, has some good weight to it.....not like the cheesy $0.99 ones on ebay
            I ordered mine from this company on ebay...

              I might give them a try! I didn't want to have to cut my spring though... Is there any way around that?

                On the first short shifter I put in I don't remember cutting the spring.....I may be wrong though. I haven't actually installed this one yet

                  Please let me know what you find. It'll help me make my decision. If there's an exhaust problem with the 323 shifter, I'd much rather re-route the exhaust than cut integral parts of the car.

                    The ebay short shifters are junk. the knob thread is a real coarse thread and if you are not careful youll mess it up putting on the ball. When you realize your mistake and try to unscrew it, the ball will break off in your hand. FAIL. Other members have had them break on other parts too while driving. For me it happened not even on the car.

                      Yes. It will work just fine in your car. The only difference between the protege/323 shifter abd the Festiva is the bends in it. The ball is the same size.
                      Im not driving a Festiva because I'm poor. I drive a Festiva because i want to!
