This is SO good to hear. I hate my B&M Ripper soooo much. Shifting it is a battle. It's like B&M actually wants you to shift slower, judging by how much effort is required to use this POS.

I will be placing an RSD order soon!

For me, reverse is up against the right side of the shift boot, but it is no extra effort and I have yet to have a problem engaging it.

It is light years ahead of my B&M effort wise but mine has more left and right play when in gear.

Just got mine a couple days ago, I replaced a Breathless Shifter and wont ever look back. Suuuuper smooth, which makes up for the bigger throws every time IMO.

I have the RSD Shifter, too. I am very happy with it. Much smoother than my old B&M SS.

Ok I hear people not liking the B&M. I have the Hurst shortie in my car, I didn't put it in, the guy before me did. I hate the thing, and would rather have the stock shifter than this thing. It is very Stiff, and Notchey (sp). Finding reverse is always a challene. I am just wondering if it is me or the Hurst Shifter.
I am seriously considering swapping it out and I am pretty sure this is the one I am going to go with, considering all the good words on here.
Thank you.
