I have a Hurst. It is probably the most popular. It is shorter and has adjustable springs to adjust the tension. I use a MGW **** which can be screwed down to make the shifter even shoter if you prefer. It is much better than stock, less slop and no more missed shifts. Buy it, you will not regret it.
