short shifters

Ok, I've been looking for a short shift and all I find are kits. I know this topic has been addressed before, but how well do these kits work as compared to the real deal? Is there a difference between DC sports, neuspeed, & any others? Any advice would be helpful!

i have a B&M and it works nice. it was a direct bolt-on. the throws are shorter, but not as short as a real short shift kit. otherwise i like it.

Its the only thing thats available. Its a take it or leave it kind of thing. All the kits do pretty much the same thing and most are adjustable (the B&M) is anyway.

anyone ever try cutting the shifter down?? I mean, isnt that all a short shifter is?? If you do cut it, you can either re-thread it, or use one of those universal shift knobs that use set screws... in my mind that would work just fine...

I want to have the throw kit and a shorter shifter.
