Billet shift ***** discontinued?

I got pissed about this months ago but it still ticks me and I don't know why I havent posted about it yet. I was referred to MBA (Mallroy Billet Aluminum Products) on another camaro forum because I was interested in a custom shift ****. When I went to their site I fell in love with their billet shift-***** that, although they were noted for 4th gens, when I e-mailed them they said they would fit 3rd gens too, have now along with all their other products been discontinued. They claim all there surviving inventory is owned by Thunder Racing now but I haven't sen any shift ***** on their site!! Has anybody seen these beautiful ***** produced anywherelse? Or possibly selling the remaining MBA products?

You need to look harder on Thunder Racing's site. I just bought 2 of the billet ***** from them.

The owner of MBA is a member of one of my local F-Body sites.

It's a shame too. They had the nicest shift ***** I've seen.

That's why I have 4 of them now.

They are still listed at Thunder, MBA M/T shift *****.

Supposedly the listing will be removed when they are unavailable.

Thanks Guys. It never even crossed my mind to look under the 4th gen parts. I remember on MBA's site it only said 93-02 but it fits third-gens so it would make sense for Thunder to put it under 4th gen. THANKS

I just got a black **** with a silver bowtie in it from Thunder Racing, and man it is sweet. It is like everyone else says, these ***** really are the best out there. Call up Thunder racing they will hook you up.
