Go cheap when the part isn't critical and is easy to replace.
Shifters are pretty critical, IMO. Especially if you are a long way from home, or have to get somewhere important.

Why would anyone expect more from a $10 part? Don't blame it on Ebay, blame the seller............uh......... and the buyer.Have had 6 Festys... and counting...

I took my eBay short shifter to the bench vise tonight to do a stress test before install. All I have to say is that it took way too little force to break the shifter. I sure am glad that I did not install this POS. A BIG Thanks to Ian for the warning to us all. Anyone have better luck with the steel shifters offered on ebay?1991 L 408,000 miles+ w/NEW B3 longblock!!
