Not in my F-body, but another vote for B & M Pro Ratchet (using one in my Nova). Best one IMHO, and a buddy has a clean install in his '95 Formula. Never miss a shift, which I can't say after trying a Turbo Action once.

OD-1st
pull back to D
D-2 shifter locks
push button pull back
2-D shifter will not go past here
Also welded a couple of brackets to mount micro switches for reverse lights and park switch since my car was orginally a M6

As stated above the Pro ratchet works good in stock M6 console. I like how the Pro ratchet stays in one spot for every gear. That way it not jamed up against the radio in park, and pointing at the back window in first. I installed mine with the factory leather boot, and it looks completely stock other than then the shifter ball.
The only think I dont like about the pro ratchet is the double ratchet that is required to get it in and out of park.

You know you left the 6spd pedals in outta laziness!
The pro ratchet does look very nice in the M6 console though. So nice I just ordered mine!
