    I soooooo want a short shifter. But 5 speed getrag has like NONE available in Australia that I have found. Apparentlt you can import a mustang short shifter from the states as they will fit, but that obvious makes it more exxy

    But is that just a shorter stick or an actual replacement shifter mechanism that reduces the throw between gears like a rip shifter? Having a shorter stick seems kind of pointless, I'd much rather have an actual short shifter.

    I know it honestly needs one so bad but I don't wanna fork out the cash either... This bloke isn't selling them on eBay anymore by any chance is he??? You wouldn't be able to give me his eBay account name so I could message him and see if he could source us one??? I'm really really desperate haha

    Just to start this convo back up... do you know what shifter that is and for what mustang as I'd be interested in sussing it out just quietly!

    yeah im not sure how you'll get on, but they would be fairly similar you would think if they use the same gearbox.

    some bmw's used the getrag 260 too i think.

    Thanks mate much appreciated... I sussed out a group buy with billet products and they said if I can get 10 people together they will do it for $349, but I've heard arranging those group buys are a pure hassle

    $349 is good if you get the people. If my ignition module hadnt crapped out last weekend leaving me up for a new one (and after already buying a new coil coz I jumped the gun and thought that was the problem ) id have probably had enough to put my name down for the group buy

    Yea $349 is great in my opinion and that's delivered too! But yea I apparently have to handle all the transactions and what not meaning everyone has to give their money to me, which would obviously turn people off. It would be a hassle to having to organise everyone and get them to pay up, it would be great though however!
