I doubt you'll find anyway new for that price (but who knows). You might consider the classifieds. BTW, the B&M was around $160, but that was a few years ago.

Re: cost effective short throw

What about a short shifter for a Mustang T5? Would that fit? I see them on Ebay all the time for under $100. In fact I have I think 3 in my watchlist now. Shouldn't a T5 be a T5 no matter what it was installed in?

i dont think that pattern is the same, plus it dosnt have the bend on it to account for the camaros 17 degree clocked transmission
