I got the short shifter assembly and gear stick from Mal Wood Automotive, it was $295 including delivered and it's way better than standard. Tibbo got the Rip Shifter that costs $499 and his is far better than mine in the same way that a lamborgini is way better than a lada niva!

I've just got a shortened lever atm, done by JMM. It's better than the broomstick but i'll be investing in a rip shifter soon to get the changes even closer.

I've got a shortened BPT shifter... 2349235x better then standard.
However if your going to spend $400 on a shifter, I'd save a bit more coin and got a rip shifter. |

that ebay one looks like a no name. I'm always suss on ad's where they can't spell basic words like "Warranty". Look in Street Machine or Street Fords and they are always advertising way better shifters than that crap.

Yes it does and it makes changing to third effortless. before you even think about moving the stick across you're already there. It's awesome.
