does the factory shift **** screw right onto the b&M or do you have to thread it differently?

You can just push it on, there is no banging with a mallet necessary.

And mine stayed put and never rattled either.

The V2 **** is a push on just like the V1. There is also another shifter on the market that has the shortest throw, lowest cost and no noise/vibration transmitted into the cabin. However, there usually is a waiting list for them.

Yeah that guy on the other forum has the best shifter available. Better hurry up and get on the list as I hear the price is going up due to the stroker funds needed.....

I bought a UUC, and love it, it is 100x better feeling over stock, I picked mine up off here for $250 with bushings new.....and I'm not going to lie they make it a pain to install, just because you have to go up top, than under its just annoying...but worth it once I got it in there!!!

I had a UUC for about a year. I sold it for $100. Don't go driving a V with one of the other shifters or you'll be selling it also.

Hey Brian....shifter works great. Just what I was looking for. Right now I'm working on putting 90mm TB and 160 T-stat in then off to get it tuned.
