Default shifter question

This has probably already been asked but anyone know of a good short throw shifter. Im liking the SLP one for 99 dollars or should i spend a little more and get B and M or something like that. Price matters also. Thanks

Default M6 Shifter

Hurst.

For me the short throw was important, BUT get a shifter that self centers itself for 3rd & 4th gears. So, the 2-3 shift is a no brainer, pull it from 2nd, and the shifter aligns itself for 3rd gear.

Check out ebay, there are deals to be had.

I tried a Ripper once and I liked it much better than a Hurst Billet Plus. Never tried a Pro 5.0.
