Yes but be careful with choosing one my kartboy short shifter was too long.
There is a way to adjust the fulcrum point on the kartboy one but mine seems to be locked..... I'll probably be getting the works one.

From one of my previos posts:

Freddie1111I think that for $109, the Lancershop.com kit is the one to get. It comes with everything you need, even the plastic retainer piece. Plus, the bushings are brass and fit perfectly. Best bang for the buck IMO. Only drawback is the freakin' metal ball shift knob gets so damned cold I can't even hold it. I'm having it covered in leather.
This comes with shifter, knob, underhood brass shifter bushings, shifter base bushings (also brass) and plastic retainer (so you don't have to cut the stock shifter)

Slightly off topic, but what's the difference between this one and the B&M one?

Which one shortens it the most, which one feels the best(is the most accurate), and which one is the easiest to install?

The B&M one is more expensive and doesn't come with the underhood bushings. The adjustable B&M one probably has the greatest reduction in throw. The Lancershop one shortens the throw as much as possible without forcing you to cut the shifter base.

Thanks man, I really appreciate the quick reply. It sounds like the Lancershop one is a steal...

What about the non-adjustable B&M, does that require you to cut the shifter base?

EDIT: I also noticed that the B&M doesn't come with the bushings... costs more and comes with less... blah.

On the adjustable one, if you want the greatest amount of throw reduction, you have to cut the shifter base so there's enough clearance for one of the shift cables. It makes more sense once you look at how the shifter base is setup.
