Stillen Short Shifter and Stock Shift Knob

bewhitey

Hello, up for sale is a used Stillen short shifter and stock shift knob. $85 paypal, or cash if your local

That is the short and sweet of it... this is the long and dirty version-----> I have owned this car for about a month and a half. The shifter had been on the car maybe 5,000 miles. I didn't completely hate the shifter... the reason I replaced it is because it spins, no matter how hard you tighten it, it still spins. I have read reviews of the shifter online and other people complain about the same problem. It's just what it does, its a spinner, you need to weld it to stop it from spinning. If you do not think that will bother you then grab this deal because the stillen shifter itself is selling for $277.84 new. I am pretty sure they drew that price out of a hat because it makes no sense to me.

My experience with the stillen shifter----> I let my little 19 year old cousin drive my car and he almost blew the engine from mis-shifting into second. I nearly did that too a few times first driving the car. Now I am not saying I am not completely retarded but I have owned 3 other manual cars and this one has been a little tricky. Maybe because the knob spins you lose the sense of what exact direction you should push the shifter in?? I don't know. It also would vibrate passionately under high rpms like it was trying to tell me I was doing something wrong.

The short shifter you should get (even though I want you to buy my old stillen one)-----> I replaced the stillen with a TWM short shifter and 4" competition series knob. I had the same exact setup on my previous much slower car (scion TC) so maybe being used to that feel makes me biased? But the TWM and Stillen are night and day different. the TWM shifter kind of reminds me of charging my AR (yes a gun reference) click boom! It is crisp and mechanical. There was no spinning knob no crazy vibration dance (maybe I haven't pushed it hard enough) but I found myself overtaking people left and right on the freeway. Usually I just hang out behind ol slow joe, but it was so easy to just blip downshift and... he gone. I don't know what TWM did, their geometry, their bearing and metal bushings they use, their spacer that compresses the spring more? it made me want to drive my car fast as hell
