Default Which shifter for t-400?

I am going with a reverse manual t-400 in my daily driver..So which shifter do you guys recommend? I have narrowed it down to the Hurst Quarter Stick shifter, or the Cheetah. What do you guys think? thanks

I had the Cheetah, but then returned it for the B&M ratchet.

Thumbs up

I run a Hurst ratchet. I like this one as it keeps everything basically stock looking.

Only problem I had was that the A4 console cover won't fit as the main mechanical portion of the shifter is too tall.

Easy fix! As this shifter actually looks like a manual shifter I am going to replace the A4 console cover with an M6 cover and boot. Looks like a stock M6.

We also use a B&M Ratchet shifter ... great positive selection when shifting through the gears on a RMVB.
