Default Ripper

Got done installing my Ripper and testing it out...holy crap

Didn't realize how much of an improvement it would be over the stock shifter. I was a little worried because I'd read a lot of threads from guys that said it was a bit notchy, required too much effort, etc.....

IMO if you think this requires too much effort to shift then you need to do some curls and tricep extensions

I would pay twice what I paid for this thing, I'm that impressed.

Obligatory pic....



...yea I know the carpet looks dirty....looks like I've got some cleaning to do

Thanks...I thought the picture would be clearer but must have been the flash due to the dark garage.

I was going to photodocument the install but I figured there are enough places to see that plus it would have probably doubled my install time
