If I am not mistaken I think the only problem is where the cable end goes through the bracket. Not sure though I bought the b&m bracket and ended up finding the stock bracket while trying to get everything to work right.

You dont thing the stock shifter cable will work with the bracket from the b&m shifter?
I'm really asking about the stock cable and the b&m bracket.

I believe you'd need a stock bracket, how about posting some photos or trying to fit it?

i have not tried to fit it yet, i was going to bring the car to my mechanic, cause im not sure how dificult it is to get to it, is it an easy thing to get to? if so i will get down there and check it out.
and if i was to have to get the factory bracket, where can i buy one?

Mechanic?!?!? = waste of time and manhood :lol:
These cars are extremely easy to work on and it's about the most simplest thing to do... and figure out, don't be like the one guy here who freaked out everytime his car was broke and wanted people to fix it for him via keyboard. :lol:
I'll never bring a car to a mechanic and I'm no where even close to being one myself.
Intuition, ingenuity and a simple set of tools... that's all you need.
Give it a whirl, let us know if you smash your thumb... :lol: jk

You can get a bracket here, took me 2 seconds to google, i'm sure you can find cheaper if you take the time:
