Default Shifter choice

ZF6

I'm planning on getting my car back on the road this summer.

I will require a shifter. I used to have a B&M Ripper which I liked.

Has there been any new shifters come on the market in the past 3 years?

What is your choice of shifter?

My personal car (92 6 spd) has a Hurst PN 3915084 and I love it.

I've installed a few other Hurst shifters in customer Corvette's and everyone has has been very happy.

zfdoc takes your stock shifter and shortens it on top, lengthens it on bottom. iv done alot of work to my car and i still feel the short shifter is my favorite upgrade. makes it feel like a true sports car. zfdoc's is the only one that retains the lift ring for the reverse lockout on my 94

96 LT4; sent entire shifter unit to ZFdoc for a shortened shifter rebuilt with all the little pieces (which no aftermarket shifter provides) replaced. If you're planning on doing ANY work on your shift linkage you owe it to yourself to at least call this man.

I have the B&M and I love it. I drove mike100's ZR1 with a Hurst and I liked that one better, I looked for it and I believe it is no longer in production.
