Short Shifter Options in 2014

Aside from the TWM, Courtesy Nissan, and Custom Maxima shifters, what else is available for the 1995 SE? Is the STS still available somewhere?

Courtesy Nissan STS ?

Custom Maxima doesn't make one, it's just a generic which you can buy off ebay. I wouldn't buy anything from those clowns.

So that leaves TWM, Ralco and Ebay (generic) as current STS's

Discontinued STS's are:
B&M
Pacesetter
Stillen

I'll report on the quality once it arrives.

If you have a welder and a grinder you could make your own. Depending on the condition of your current shift assembly and what you had on hand it could be free!

I really like the TWM one from what I've seen of it, but that is a serious price.

Update: I ended up with an eBay/Megan short shifter following the TWM directions for most of it. Needed to buy my own bolt and locknut because the stock one won't fit. Heed the heatshield screw warning they WILL break off. This was a subtle but most welcome improvement. No problems so far!
