Default B&M Ripper Shifter

Is this worth the money? I can get one for $120 just wondering what everyone thinks of them.

I like mine. The only thing is they dont make short sticks for it. I had my buddy cut the shifter and reweld it. We got 2 inches removed and thats the lowest you can go, perfect height for me. Other than that, the shifts are close, and 2-3 is very hard to miss. It doesn't make noise either like the stock hurst does.

Killer. And when strapped in a 5-pt doing autox or RR the length is perfect.
