Default which shifter?

Going to change out the OEM shifter, which one is the smoothest B&M or Callaway?

Yeah, we need some info from people who have had both. Hopefully Steve Germany can Chime in, he sold me his B&M which he replaced for his Callaway. I think he may have some useful information Give him a PM maybe Jeff, he's a nice fellah.

If you're not in a rush, I believe camarocane will be getting a Callaway soon. Then i'll have to compare something to, i'll have the B&M and he'll have the Callaway

Oh yeah! And although it's not part of the question, the breathless performance shifter I heard was very nice aswell. Although I didn't really consider it, just dropping the note. Good luck bud

I had always been a Hurst fan and had one in my C5. I was going to order another for the C6 but the salesman said the B&M was a better shifter. I took his word and glad I did.

When I called and they said they were back ordered and did not expect some in for 2 weeks. When did you order yours?
