Default UMI Performance short stick Review

Well I just purchased the camaro about a mnth ago now. and i wanted to do something so i ordered some toys from UMI performance, 2pt tubular SFC Weld in, On Car adjustable Panhard Rod, Adjustable lower control arms, and the SHort Stick. Any ways as we all know stock hurst is suspended in rubber, the short stick from UMI gets rid of it. What an easy install 10-15minutes tops. This thing is awsome, much more precise shifts and the throws are so much shorter. also reduces *** height by about 1.5 inches, didnt measure it. but its well worth it. I didnt want to spend the money on a B&M or a pro5.0 since i wanted to order more parts so i said eh whats 26 bucks and went with it, I am not dissappointed by any means. So Far I like it and no complaints. Thank you UMI,

now i cant wait till i get money to get some koni DA to complement the B+G springs i just ordered, and put the UMI sfc,panhard rod, LCA. That way I do everything at one time, and save time and money.

After the suspension is taken care of, here come the Power Adders lol.

Once again thanks Ryan at UMI for a great product. Also fast shipping. My friend was told wednsday it would be here and it was here on wednsday by noon. Awsome service.

For me the stock Hurst UMI short stick is the perfect combo, haven't missed 3rd since I installed it

Does the UMI short stick fit on a b&m ripper? My short stick on my stock hurst wouldnt work, I do miss the lowered height difference. Do you have a link to the site I can get it from?

i got my short stick a couple months back and love it (stock shifter). UMI is great to deal with, and in the near future nearly all my suspension components will come from them!

yeah before i bought the 'camaro i would read this forum day and night and i seen alot of great reviews from umi, so thats why i bought alot of stuff from them. lol.. i would like to get all their suspension components further down the line, so right now i only have the s/s, panhard bar, lca's, sfc's. but right now saving up for some power adders, koni's, and some Z06 rims. possibly the RS lip kit or RK sport Lipkit. to make the car look more aggressive.

on umi's site it says no. but call to seee if they have anything. heck probably pick up a factory hurst base unit for cheap in the classifieds from someone whose swapping out for a b&m or something.

i'm with komik, i can definatly find each gear now, i dont second guess my self n e more.
