i hate them.

feel crap, have to stretch your arm, reverse and 5th are horrible and vauge to select. Youll fiddle for ages with the linkage and never be happy.

Its just a shorter sticka nd feels weird, and tbh.....you dont shift any faster.

Bens only saying that cos hes small. People of normal height love em. Im one of those people. Gear change is alot tighter feeling and not as sloppy as normal sticks.

(Sorry Ben)

I dont like em, Id rather have a nice standard change..

Anyhow do what Ive done take your knob and gaitor off for a month and try changing with that...then put the knob back on - instant quick shift using your own parts!

Let me explain, Ben is 5ft tall, he has to have a booster seat to see over the steering wheel

it wont shift any fatser, just feels nicer
 


I dont like mine its Ok but no quicker than stock since I go slow anyway to protect the gearbox from abuse.

whats the theory behind how they work ? what makes them apparently shift Quicker ?
They drop the length of the rod down the pivot, so the other side under the car is longer and you have to move the knob less.

Its heavy, stiff, no feel, brass bushing that can sometimes squeek and stick......i just cant stand them, none of the cars they have been in feel good. especailly annoying when fiddling to fid reverse and 5th, and you keep hitting the tranny tunnel with the extended rod.

Waste of alot of money imo for feel.
