how good are the ebay brands compared to trd or twm or other name brands?

You wouldn't notice a difference I don't think. It's a metal stick, man. How could you really make it that bad of quality?

i couldnt dissagree more.
there is a HUGE diffrence between the 7th gen, TWM, and TRD products.
the first two are JUST the shifter arm itself, the TRD is the whole assembely, and most of the time includes the TRD knob.
the first two are "short shifters" much shorter arm, and throw. they both require more effort to move between gears, the 7th gen more than the TWM.
the TRD is a "quickshifter"
the throw is shorter, and the length is about 1/2" shorter overall, with knob.
feel is MUCH tighter ALOT less slop in the shifter overall, but effort to get between shifts is still very low
the whole idea behind a "short/quickshifter" is for racing purposes, where you have both hands on the wheel, and you want to be able to shift between gears as quickly as possible and get your hands back on the wheel.
the TWM and others do not accomplish this goal.
if your going just for looks, the TWM or 7th gen is your deal, as they are the shortest. (which is what most people are after)
