Title: Short Shifter for U13 - Will an Altima one from the US ebay work?
Post by: flashkobalt on Mar 31, 2009, 03:32PM

Hey guys,

I'm keen to get a short shifter for my u13 1994 bird, and haven't had much luck looking locally...Would a shifter made for the 93-97 Altima in the US fit/work?
Something like one of these:

Yes. any ALTIMA 93-01 fits
The 2nd link may be the worst of the 2.
 1st link should be better fit. its a cheap copy of the B&M item i have, althou that photo of items is missing a couple of bits.

but that doesnt make the actual shift any shorter, just makes the gearstick look shorter.
