Travis (Kou-IN3 might have steering wheel and shift knob for you, gauge pod I'd go to Lo-tec, and The shortened oem shifters usually work pretty good from what I've heard. I think there are a couple aftermarket ones available, but I don't have any experience with those.

I've got an oem steering wheel to sell. $20
I've also got a stock shifter that I can cut down and weld for you if you want. Price will depend on how much work I've got to do to it. However, I'd recommend against shortening the shifter. It's one of those old school rice techniques that doesn't necessarily translate well to DSM's....like JDM crap.... and flashy vinyl graphics. You can get a pretty schnazzy shift knob from Autozone that screws down. Go with the eightball style for maximum bad-ass-itude! ::sarcasm off:: Honestly, you're best off going with a stock 2g shifter. I've got one I'll sell you for $20. -------------------- my cars breath smells like car food

I definetly agree with the stock 2g shift knob, Ive seen people use it before and I've heard alot of good things! Another thing I will say is that if you do get a non-screw on shift knob you can wrap the top of the shifter with a few layers of duct tape and then screw on the shift knob. Although kinda ghetto, this gives the bolts something to bite into and they have a tendency to stick alot better that way.

I've got a couple direct fit screw down shift knobs in stock. Red or metallic grey powdercoated. 2" aluminum balls. I can post pics if you like. Screws onto the stock shifter no allen key bolts needed.
$30 apiece (new unused) Might have a steering will too but it looks like Kris has you covered there. -------------------- |

KOU In3 Post the pics of the knobs....
akamiami you have mail Who knows where I can find an aftermarket short throw shifter for my 90 GST, that's not a cut down oem shifter. I've looked at pacesetter but It looks shady....(adjustable height) Does B & M or Hurst or someone make on for 1G Eclipses? |

An OEM 91-94 1G shifter has a shorter throw than the 90. To swap them you also need a cable-to-transmission bracket off a 91-94 DSM to prevent bent/broken shift forks. Other than that the only aftermarket shortened shifter I've seen are for 2G's. Unless you can pull of a miracle and get one from Mofugas, but their website isn't even around anymore so I doubt they are making short-throws for the GVR4's and 1G's anymore.

You mean at a store or online? I'd like to see a decent store around here. NOPI carries damn near anything you can think of. Summit also has a lot of parts.

Here are the pictures of the knobs I have in stock now. Slightly different from each other. The red ball doesn't have the 'collar' at the bottom. Both are threaded to actually screw onto the factory shifter so they won't yank off like the ones attached with allen bolts.
