I have a B&M Ripper in my T/A and I hate the leather shift ****. I did a little bit of searching and couldn't find what size the shifter is. What have you people put on for shift *****. I really like the Hurst black or white plain ball, or the T Hammer handle or whatever you call it. Did you have to modify anything to put your handle on? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

 

I got a billet shift **** from RKSport. I think they are a little pricey with most of their stuff, but this was worth every penny ($40 I think)! Check my signature for pics of the SS variety installed on my car...shody picture of the ****, but you get the idea. It's very high quality, solid piece construction and they offer TA and Firebird options.

ive got an 03 cobra shift ****, but its the same style as the factory leather ****.

 

What about the size of the shifter for my B&M?

 

As far as sizes go, I think there are a couple of standard ones. I haven't the slightest as to how you tell what is what, though. But I do know my shift **** from RKSport came with an adapter if I needed it. It would just thread right over the existing threads and then the **** threaded on to the adapter.

I'm sorry I don't know how to tell what size you have/need...but there has to be some way to measure it. I guess you could use a nut to tighten down over the threads on the shifter...as long as you know the size of the nut, you'd know the size of the shifter.

Anyone with a ripper shifter running a different shift ****?

 

From your comments, I'm assuming you like your billet shift ****. Is it really cold in the winter and hot in the summer like the rumor has it? Does your hand ever slip when shifting hard? I'm thinking about ordering one from MBA.

 

I love it! Way better than the crappy leather one. I get a surprising amount of compliments on it...probably because it's one of the only things I have changed in my interior.

As for the heat, yes, very hot in direct sunlight . You just have to adjust...I use an Oakley soft case and put it over the **** when it's way sunny/hot and I know the car will be there for a while. Cold--ya, but now she's in the garage till spring break, so that isn't really an issue.

Slippage, nothing comes to mind (like missing a shift b/c of it).

All in all, I think the plusses way out weigh the minuses. It looks professional and adds something to the interior.

Thanks Alot! I'm going to be ordering me a black one with a phoenix engraved from MBA after Christmas it looks like.
