Please note that I was never a "Deck Ape" as I was (and am proud to state it) a SNIPE. The motto of the Engineering Department of USS Independence (CVA-62) was Horsepower equals Seapower.

Seriously - about a year ago, one CF member reported installing a B&M, took it out for a HURST. Was not happy with then installed a Calloway. He had lots of praise for the Calloway. After reading his posts and "hands on" @ Carlisle I went Calloway. Just do it Gary

1. I never set the stops
2. I installed a MOMO shift boot with a metal ring that extends all the way to the **** and think that may be the cause.

First, let me apologise for calling both you and Ben "deck apes". My father was a signalman in the Navy, and used to refer to himself and others as same. Unwilling as I am to drive mostly in reverse, Ben's engineering backround will not figure heavily in my install, should it occur. My short exposure to your Callaway shifter brought up the following questions: As short as the shifts are, do you notice you shift faster? Does this aid smoothness? I also notice that now you can get one to fit the stock ****, which I like.
You also mentioned setting stops. What does that entail? I'm still on the fence but leaning at a greater angle.
Thanks,
GM

It's crisp - less notchy feeling
I didn't like the Calloway Chrome Cue Ball. The lever that accepts the stock **** was not avail when I got mine. Went with a MOMO **** - it's

Thanks.
Gary/Moto - it's just the shift ****. MOMO **** & MOMO Boot.
Matching MOMO E-Break Handel as well

Nice pictures, John.
I can attest to the short, VERY positive throws in your car that I experienced at cruise in.
However, I may never hear the end of my mistake from Ben if you do not acknowlege his status as a SNIPE. I may have to buy you each a bottle of 25year old single malt to sedate you into reasonableness.

No sweat. I took absolutely no offense. Thought it kinda
actually. Ben will get over it. He complains about everything. 
Just give him a Nuggie after the next NOVA Event 
It will remind him of getting his butt kicked behind #2A Boiler
