Default Anyone used a McLeod Slik Stix Shifter for 4th Gen F-Body???

Correction: Quik Stik Shifter. These use Belleville washers instead of a spring for centering. Supposedly they do not lose tension like a spring. I'm considering buying one, but only if it's a smooth and quiet shifter like the MGW. I don't want a noisy, notchy shifter like the Pro 5.0.
Anybody on here used one? How's the feel? Noisy?

Where'd you see this at? They don't have anything on Mcleods website for the 4th gen F-body. At least not that I see.

Page 74 and 75.
Several options for it: Straight up, offset left, right, forward, backwards, or various combinations in different length offsets. They are also available with positive stops, but I'm told that's not necessary.

This appears to be what I'd want if using a UMI short stick: 82-100-004-08 SHIFTER T56 1993-02 CAMARO, STRAIGHT UP NO STOPS $250.00
BillyM (McLeod Rep on here) recommended P/N 81-421-264-08 so I'd check with him first before ordering anything.
Here's an exploded view of one:

Red Roberts (Former Owner of McLeod) also lists it on his site:

Mine was! I had both it and a Hurst Billet Plus. I liked the Hurst better. I heard the MGW is really quiet, and smooth. I wonder how this McLeod compares to a MGW? Surely somebody on here has used one.

Mine is not notchy at all. It could be a little quieter.

I actually have one in my 3rd Gen Camaro with a LT-1 6 speed. Pretty nice shift and not noisy at all. But i'm a little biased so take it with a grain of salt.
