I don't get how to follow posts on this forum. I responded to this item today but can't find it now. What do mean by "which one"? I only know of one from Toyota - unless you want to faricate your own. They have minimal to no effect on performance. Just feels nicer than the 'mushy' stock shifter. People who have them seem to like them.
Do you know of a cheap source? I've seen $219 plus tax on-line.

I had one in an older prelude I had and I have to say it really makes the car feel sportier, you get shorter throws, and makes the shifts more crisp

i have a 03 5-speed is300 and i have a short shifter but see it came with the car. i dont know what kind it is there is no logo on it, but it is awsome! i love it and i drove a stock is300 and the short shifter made a BIG diff.

I am contemplating the B&M shifter. It seems they are discontinuing it so alot of sites are selling them at a discounted price.
