Default Shift **** affecting shifting.

Hey Guys I really love the way the old Hurst T-Handle looks. I was wondering if any of you guys have it and how it has affected your performance if at all? It seem like it would be a perfect fit for a 4speed but maybe a little tricky with a 6. Also how does it fair with an aftermarket shifter or short stick?

Dont know about a Thandle but Ive leared that I can shift quicker and more accurate with a smaller ball. I made a stick to mount on my PRo 50 and used a ball from a Snapper lawnmower. SOB worked the best. If you cant find the right thread to work with the stick its not a big deal to make your own stick

I think that it is really easy to hang on to.

I've driven an M6 with a T-handle. It was OK, just not for me.

I like leather wrapped shift ***** (I run a Hurst ****). I had an MBA **** that made the tranny feel "notchy" to me. Switched *****, the notchy feeling went away. Huh. Hard ***** transmit more vibration.

Did I just say that?
