Was out for a little "Saturday night driving" and completely blew a shift into 3rd gear. I guess it time to finally ditch the factory shifter and spend some cash on a new shifter that actually works before I kill the transmission. (You know of course it has to be the shifters fault....)
I'm looking for peoples recommendation on what to buy for a nice (inexpensive hopefully) street shifter that will help me out on a Saturday night.
Steedas Tri-Ax and the Pro-5.0 seem to be on the top of the popular list. I've tried to read up on shifters a little in the past and stiff, notchy, rattles alot, hard to shift, etc come up in different discussions. It seems as if each brand has its pros and cons. There are also some off brand "billet" ones with adjustable stops that look pretty good out there that are half the price of the name brand ones.
Guess I'm just looking for other peoples experiences and suggestions on what works and what doesn't. Most of what I've read has been "I've got brand X and it's great". Anyone owned or used more than one brand and can say this one's better than the other one? Anyone willing to admit they bought one they didin't like because it's rattles too much or is too hard to shift and would suggest another? Guess I'm really looking for bad experiences and which ones to stay away from. (Also, anyone had any bad experiences with the cheap knockoff versions and would say never buy them?)
On the positive side, if "brand name" is the only way to go, what are the pros and cons on the different brands.
Thanks
