Great price on B&M shifters

Im not selling these but i just got mine in. Legit seller with the lowest price i coul find anywhere, just thought i'd give back to the org and point out a nice deal.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...223510987&rd=1

Enjoy if anyone is in the market for a new shifter.

I know, but what can you do. If you had a machine shop make one it would cost double that for one.

i bought from that same seller over a month ago, it was cheaper then too. In fact he started selling these in february for $80 shipped. I can confirm that its legit and hes a great seller. It fits the maxima even tho its not listed. The price really isnt that rediculous. A B&M sts is alot better than any other sts for the maxima and it replaces more than just the shifter. quitchyer *****in

B&M are good shifters and are much better than ebay cuz you can go back with your stock ****, and a better shift feel when going into gears. if i could go back around, i would pay to get the B&M over ebay, imo but deffly dont feel like going thru the work again lol

yea i have 4-6 maxima friends with it....it sits right when you have a 2001 tranny in your 4th gen, but with your regular tranny, the shifter sits so much more forward, and tends to hit the trim. When my friend use to track his 96, he took the shifter trim off, because it would fly into third and the trim would come off...Dono... =/

I agree^ I'm so sick of paying for the mark-up on everything. Some things you really cant avoid, but for everything else...I'll be making as much as I can myself. (exhaust etc)

I bought a pair of headers for a chevy 350 for a little over a hundred bucks brand new from dynamax. Try that with a Maxima brand name

sure its only $10 to make if you dont consider the cnc machine, cad, programming, etc. i understand what you're saying, but the price hes selling is what im talking about. i cant even get that price from a warehouse.
