Couldn't be sure which short shifter you are talking about. A link to the ebay auction page would resolve that. I'm guessing the one you got is the B&M style STS as there are a lot of generic "off brand" replica matches to B&M p/n 45071 that is a fit for the MX-3. Check the installation pics here and you can be the judge. http://www.zx2racing.com/articles/BM_sh ... nstall.pdf

They usually don't come with bushings. SRD makes some excellent quality permanently self lubricating bronzoil replacement bushings that come with good install instructions as well. You can order them through the SRD site. http://srdperformance.com/

Post back with any questions.

To anyone else wondering..
I just took the original shifter and the shorty down to the local hardware store and got about $5 in parts to make it work. It's not perfect, but damn close. BTW, I have a Ractive Civic shorty that I paid about $8 shipped from ebay (actually got two).
