Default Shifter ****?

I received my short throw shifter from Bill @ Zfdoc and I am contemplating putting a new **** on when I swap out the stock shifter for the shorty. I should have bought his shifter with the **** on it but I didnt.

Anyway what ***** are you guys running on your cars?

I stuck with stock style setup on my ZF-DOC short throw. Everything else is a ball or pistol grip.. Or worse a T-Handle. So I mixed it up a bit with a Carbon Fiber replacement **** with a CF insert. Your mileage may vary.

How do you like the Zf shorty? I contacted bill. I might just return the shorty and go with the Lift ring retro he offers.

I got the short throw with a lift ring. Love the feel, and the custom shift boot from Redline looks great.

Sorry, I know mine is automatic but I am really happy with the way my paint job came out on it.

I've got both a Delrin and a T-handle

The Delrin in on it now, but I'm kind of missing the T-handle

A hell of a lot smoother and a shorter throw. GC
