I have this obx sts on my 4th gen! You shouldnt get this! Get a B&M! I got this like summer of 2k1 when the B&M wasnt out yet. Shifts are ok, but when you try to power shift from 2 gear to 3rd its hard and grinds sometimes. It's ok if you shift @ 3000 rpm though. Still get a B&M!

Ask the seller or find out what material it is, if its aluminum, dont buy it, i bought the ebay one and it broke on my and i was ****ed. Just get the B&M or dont get one at all.

Get a pacesetter STS. I have one installed w/ Amsoil gearlube and it feels like butter.

I've only heard bad things about those short shifters.

<---getting a B&M...the Group Deal is not going anymore. Try pm'ing 'Tokio' and see if he can help. Good guy.
