Do you feel any different with new shifter compared to old one?

- Mon Apr 22, 2013 5:27 pm #330855 huge difference. the shifts are about 25 to 40% shorter, and the stiffness of the side to side is minimal. my OEM 20 yr old shifter was sloppy. I thought it was my trans.

i am thoroughly impressed with the shifter feel, sturdiness, and shorter throws.

Highly recommended.
