I was planning on going the MR2 route. Mechie, can you specify which MR2 shifter would and would not work and why? Thanks

The Spyder shifters are plastic and a higher profile. The older ones are metal and very low profile.

Here are a few links to what you want...

MR2 Shifter 1

MR2 Shifter 2

I've bought my last 2-3 on eBay for under $50. There are deals out there if you are patient. The rust always cleans up with a scrub-brush and a fresh coat of paint. Easy to work on. You DO NOT need one of the short-shift kits. Those are likely for the Spyder shifters to make them feel more like the gen-1 shifter I'm talking about.
