Quick question when it comes to shifters i know nothing. what will it do for me and what is a good or the best one i can buy?


Also is the install all on top basic do it youre self

 

It will make your shifts shorter, quicker and more percise.
More fun to drive.

 

Its an easy install... I'm FAR from inclined towards the car and installs, but I managed it without any issues...

I installed my B&M Ripper about 5 years ago, and LOVE it. I've only ever driven with the stock shifter and the Hurst shifter. I didn't like the angled style of the hurst, and the stock shifter is just crap

I'm VERY happy with my ripper.

Thanks for the advice. I learned how to drive stick on it so i dont really know what anything else feels like. I had a chance to take out and drive the **** out o af bullit and it seemed a lot easier to shift. Im going to be picking one up this weekend does anyone else need one i can usually swing a great deal on stuff like this.

 

I love my angled Hurst shifter. You just have to get used to it. The Pro 5.0 and B&M ripper are the most popular ones. Lots of raves over Lou's short stick too.

 

i know i've only got a 5 speed, but i got my B&M shifter for $206 at Best Buy in vancouver, thats a pretty good deal for it... mopac wanted $240+

its an easy 30 minute-1 hr install (depending on whether youve taken the interior appart before or not), and the difference is night and day from my stock one...

i cannot comment on the Pro 5.0 as i have never tried it, but i have heard good things about it... the advantage to it is that you can put a shorter stick on it (lou's short stick)... but its up to you...

 

Y'know, the only thing I don't like about my Ripper is that it transmits the vibration from the tranny a bit.
The stocker had those rubber parts in it to avoid this.

The only time I can hear it is when I don't have the stereo on.

So, that's pretty much never then.

 

thats totally a good call, pandamonkey, but i think it all comes down to the fact that it is so nice and tight, therefor, no mushy rubber bits, its all hardcore, and nice.... i just turn the mp3 player up a bit more ...

honestly, intake and exhaust are good first mods, but i almost creamed myself the first time i drove after installing the ripper... it is that good, unfortunatley you get used to it, and you loose the appreciation for it, until you drive somoene elses stock shifter...

 

So i guess its just up to wich one i buy still not sure

 

ive tried the lous short stick with the hurst and it feels awesome!

im plannig on going with the lous shirt stick soon.

its cheap too!

 

Yeah Armen's shifter feels awesome but its hard to get used to & not shift into the wrong gear

 

Is that pg-13?

 

I have the SLP (Hurst) shifter with Lou's Short Stick. I love it.

Lou's piece is about $60 USD on top of actually buying the shifter. i got the shifter on an SLP clearance for $99USD.

 

isnt the LSS like 40 usd?

tahts waht it says on his site.
