is it easy to do a fast 2/3 shift? It looks pretty good. I'd put a hurst black ball **** on it tho. Those T-handles are murder in hot weather.

Feels about the same. Probally be able to shift just as quickly as before once adjusted. Also, I have had a T-handle for 2 years. I just had to switch to this new one cause of the smaller shift stick.

Not a fan, looks out of place and like it would be a pain in the *** to powershift.

Concurr'd. Props on the work but it looks hella out of place IMO, and appears that it would annoy the hell out of me tryin to shift.

I am going to get some stick on trim to go around it something like that, I even thought about painting it like that as well but first going to see what some trim will look like first. No go on the ball though, don't really like them myself. Yes it would look better but can't break me from a t-handle.

Thanks for the chop though, something to think on.

That is really cool, I bet you could sell those easily to people! How does the metal plate mount and be sturdy enough to take the blows of the shifter if it hits the gate?

Can't wait to see it cleaned up, what a clever idea.

Mounted in with 4 screws, have to go under the console to see them. The main piece is a peice of steel, for strength, but all you see is the thin sheet aluminum thats glued down (with Emblem glue) on top of that. It seems to be pretty strong.

I think it looks awesome!,

About the numbers, if you wanted to spend a little time, get your dremel, and cut out the 1-6 and R, then put a LED underneath them. Would look bad as hell at night.

I think a shift light installed under reverse would look kinda neat.
