Shifter

Hey guys I’m looking at getting a shifter and wanted to get a idea what might be the best way to go.
Now I do like the Billet Shifter but at $395.00 I wonder how much better it is than the B&M that I can get new for $198.00 at Summit.

I installed the Hurst unit in my 05 and am very satisfied. 100% better than stock.

Billet and GMM are tops,
Hurst seems good, but needs time to be proven
B&M is junk, but still better than stock

GMM Rip Shifter (Race Version) for the win. My reading would indicate that one might want to invest in something other than the B&M.

Are you going to do the install yourself? If so, take your time and do it right. Do not forget the "red" Loctite.

it makes it easier to drop the rear of it a bit, it's only 6 bolts for the trans mount.
