Preferrably looking for something pre-assembled & lubed, so I know it's going in there correctly.

Looking to spend $50-$130.

Thanks!

Fully assembled, packed, and ready to ship.

I've got 2 left I believe.

Hey Red,

I tried to look for the shifter on the site for my model car and it didn't turn up anything. How do I order?

I clicked on Tiburon and it was right there, didn't even select a year yet, right there on the left where it says "What's New".

http://kia-fx.netfirms.com/estore/nfoscomm...products_id=390

Now that's random, but I then clicked on RD1 at the top, and it's on the first page.

http://kia-fx.netfirms.com/estore/nfoscomm...php?cPath=93_94

I then backed up because you own a RD2, and clicked on it. It's right there too.

http://kia-fx.netfirms.com/estore/nfoscomm...php?cPath=93_95

That's without even going into the sub sections.

Where did you look?

Let me know if you still have issues mang.

I have the megan racing one, word of advice, spend the little extra and go with the one redz posted, you will be happy with the megan shifter, but you will be much better off spending the little bit more to get the good one as the megan has a little slop in it

^^^ Which one Red posted?? Isn't it just the Megan Racing shifter? What's special about the one Red has and the others? ...I would much rather support Red instead of someone else that I don't have contact with, just curious.

I guess I must've went to the wrong site... maybe an old version? (www.kia-fx.com) ... It looks like the one you have is from netcommerce... so, I'm assuming the two must be a bit out of sync or one just isn't being used.

Ok. Well, that looks good then. When I order, it will for sure come pre-assembled, greased right? :-P And, do you have any short shifter boots also to go with the shifter that I could buy?

Oh, also, does the shifter by chance come with a knob or do I need to buy that seperately...? I have an old OBX shifter knob.. Not sure if that'll fit?

As I've said in the past, the KFX shifter IS the Megan shifter. Differences?

1. YOU GET IT FULLY ASSEMBLED AND LUBED. The one you buy from Megan or elsewhere is not assembled, comes with no instructions.

2. The KFX one has no slop, as I carefully assemble each one, one at a time.

3. The KFX one has loctite on all threads, ensuring you don't have your shifter come apart while driving. Laugh if you want, it's happened to members on this site, and to ME, and was the reason I chose the ARK shifter before. Now that I'm assembling them for KFX and they are done right, this one is way better.


The Megan shifter does come with the knob shown. I do not make anything off of these guys, I do it for free to help out BHurlin who has put a lot of money into R&D for Hyundais now. You are supporting him directly.

If you look in the FS section, there are some stickies, my wife sells custom shift boots that are shorter, and frigging beautiful. It's a boot/ebrake boot set.

As for the site issues, I just posted abou tthem in the KFX section, thanks man.

^^^ thats what i meant, they are the same but hes gone over them personally to make sure that everythings done right and you dont have to put them together

ive ripped mine apart 3 times now to redo everything on it and the 3rd time got it finally to work, but theres still slop in mine and i think a few others have had trouble with theres, but redz has made sure they are good

as far as boots get the ones hes talking about, the look awesome

Uh, buy the one from RED and KFX, its done, and it makes install so easy, it was REALLY easy for me, REd helped, lol

anyway, its worth it, my shifter is solid, and I shift hard at times

very high quality, and no issues, totally worth it
