this is something new, so i dont think many would be out there. But it looks like a B&M STS with a different **** and its polished instead of aluminized

I would be willing to bet that Courtesy wised up from their old crap design and followed B&M in construction.

I'd think the quality is right there...but for $30 cheaper.

Hey Jeff. Can you swing over there and compare to the B&M you put in not too long ago?

Sure...I'll go over there during lunch tomorrow. I'll just call to make sure they have one in stock.

(I work about 10 minutes away from there...)

I know. thats why I asked you. If I weren't considering a 6 speed swap, I would probably look into this more.

I got a CustomMaxima adjustable STS and I love it!

I've adjust to 3/4 full adjustment and the throw is real short.
Not forget to mention that the shifter itself is about 3/4" shorter too!

And at 69$ it's a pretty cheap price
