$15 short shifter on ebay

I just bought a short throw shifter on ebay for $15. Has anyone else bought this. If so how well does it fit? I am worried its a to good to be true thing. The link is below.

Well, I am testing the waters. If it works out, it was a steal, if it doesn't it was a $25 lesson.

I'm in there with you, $25 is a small price if it works well.

Recieved mine friday via Fedex. It is pretty bare bones, no spacers or shims like the TWM, no instructions. Construction is good, steel shifter with polished aluminum know. Will be using the instructions from the TWM site for install. Wife and i are helping my mom make the transition to an assisted living facility so it may be a couple of weeks before the install is done. Will keep everyone posted

Yeah, I already read that it didnt have spacers, shims or instructions, and I already downloaded the twm instructions. Do you plan on using the stock parts or having some made? I should be getting mine by Tuesday according to fed ex shipping. I would love to get it installed this week, along with a custom shift knob, but that may be a bit ambitious.

Cool, i plan on using the stock pieces if possible, my step brother works in a machine shop so maybe he can help if custom pieces are needed, might be good male bonding time as we hardley knew each other before last month
