Short Throw Shifter

I found this thing on ebay, the guy has a bunch of them. The only thing I was concerned about is why are they so cheap? Is there anything missing here?

Is it the just the stick that bolts to the factory shifter. If so, it doesn't give you the full benifit of a short throw shifter, ie bending clutch forks.

BTW, a link would be nice.

It's basically the same thing as Lou's Short Stick, and they work very well. It shortens the shifter arm, just like most aftermarket short shifters and will provide a shorter, firmer throw. I have one of Lou's units on my SLP Hurst and it's great. Feels almost exactly the same as the B&M Ripper I had in my 95. Also, to answer the bending clutch forks issue, most after market shifters don't have stop screws anymore either, so that a moot point.
