How bad can it be?
For 16 dollars, you can't got very wrong.

All a short shifter is, is a regular shifter with an altered pivot point.
I wouldn't worry unless it arrives and it's made of plastic.

they seem to have 100%feedback,and the cost is really low,youll pay 16 for it and 13 for the shipping,i have a B+M short shifter and love it,but youll be pissed off if its loose or becomes more notchy than the stock setup,how much shorter of a throw would be a good question to ask the seller to see what difference it might be,good luck let us know

For 16 dollars he'll probably get something really shittily engineered. It might "look" nice, but it will more than likely have problems either immediately or in the near future.

+ the fact the evo shifter is already damn short -_-

i personally think you got screwed over. if it works, more power to you. the reason why a lot of people spend their money on something like a b and m, kartboy, works, and other brands is because they work naturally. though many short shifters are just meant for driver comfortability. so if it's comfortable and works, then your $16 was well spent, if not you know what $16 for a short shifter really gets you.

Lancershop (http://lancershop.com/customer/product.php?productid=318&cat=6&page=1)sells one that is almost identical. Some guys on Evom have it and they seem to like it.

installed in about and hour. works great and i would say it is about a 20-25% shorter throw. i did a little strength test before i insalled and it seems to be pretty strong. the knob it comes with is nice but light. granted the works, b&m, kartboy are better, for $30 delivered in 2 days(so cal)you can't beat it.
