I installed the B&M. I like it very must. A little harder to shift, but very solid. Not sloppy at all. No missed shifts either. The B&M is the only one which the original **** will fit on.

We sold a B&M shifter to a customer that had the Callaway and he advised he liked the B&M better. It was just as short and precise, but smoother...

The B&M is easier shifting than the Hurst imo.
Thanks and no flames please.
These are my opinions only...

I have asked this on other threads with absolutely no response, so maybe, just maybe, someone can enlightnen me....
What exactly does putting another shifter on the car do?
I keep reading where shifters lessen "notchiness" and helps shift the car better, etc, etc, but HOW?
I understand if the shift rod is shorter, making the throw shorter, but other than that, is there something that I am missing?
I am sorry if this is a stupid question, but I just don't get it.
Thanks.

Funny thing: When I attended Lou Gigliotti's driving school at Texas World Speedway 3 years ago, the instructor asked who had aftermarket shifters. When some of the attendees raised their hands he said "you guys are gonna have a sore right arm at the end of the day" .
You won't find many people who will say a particular mod is bad after they have spent time and money installing it. This statement is even more accurate when applied to cat back exhaust systems with resonance.
