any other gto drivers use this? Opinions as a short shifter vs hurst,b&m or even mgw.

I have the MGW-P short shifter with the factory **** and I absolutely love it. I would go that route, but thats my .02. I have heard a lot of B&M's breaking and ppl just not happy with em. The GMM Ripshift is popular and pricey, so is the JHP Billet shifter. Haven't heard anything bad about the MGW-P. Haven't heard much about the hurst.

Do not waste your money on the b&m, Just my personal opinion.. Mgw would be the one I'd Choose.

i too have never heard anything bad about mgw. I have had one before on my mustang gt and it was great. Thx for the input guys!!!

I have a LSS. Only shifter I have used other than OEM. I like it. Easy install. No need to drop the transmission as with alternatives. It is only a shifter arm replacement and no more. Throws are shorter which is what I was looking for.

I have the LSS, but just bought a Hurst shifter.... I'll let you know how it turns out....

what made you switch to hurst? any cons of the Lou's? Pm me if you wanna sell your Lou's long as there's nothing wrong with it or damaged. Definitely let me know what you think btwn the two

I've had my LSS for about two months and have no complaints. Best thing about the Lou is that it eliminates the spongy feel of the factory arm. The throws are noticeably shorter as well as the overall length of the shifter itself. http://www.highperformancepontiac.co...o/viewall.html

I'd save your money and go with an MGW-p, Billet Pro or GMM. You'll be much happier in the end.

I have an MGW-p and love it. It was a huge improvement over the stock shifter and made driving the car that much better. The only downside was the 5 week wait.

Buy the MGW. The B&M is a headache. They like to leak and I dont like the way it feels.

The GMM, Billet Pro and MGW-p are THE only 3 I'd even consider. The big names of Hurst and B&M are crap. IMHO the GMM mated with a Lou's Short Shift is the ultimate.

I had an LSS and it is a very good bang for the buck mod. You could also check out the short levers on eBay, however they don't bend back towards the driver.

I just installed a LSS this week; pretty easy and straightforward install. It definitely improves the firmness (less sloppy) of shifting. And the angle is much more driver-oriented making for a better shift. As HSG said above, this is a very good bang for the buck.

I've only ever experienced the stock shifter, but it greatly improved with the modest improvement of an LSS. The feel is much more controlled and the shorter throw is a blessing. The tilt toward the driver is a bonus. If you can't afford a quality aftermarket shifter, the LSS is a great cost effective alternative in the mean time.
