Default What Shift **** Do You Have?
Welcome the newest member of the T56 club. Just completed a T56 swap in my Trans Am and the shift **** that came with it is a bit too short along with the Pro 5.0 and the angled LSS. What shift **** is everyone using or has used and how did you like it? Also places to buy would be nice as the only thing I can seem to find online are a few places that carry MBA billet shift *****. Thanks for any help.

I still have the original factory hurst/**** with a UMI short stick. I wouldn't trade it off for anything else. It just feels and looks right.

I've got the hurst classic white **** aka the q-ball sitting on a B&M ripper. It fits great in the palm of your hand and I almost always get good comments about it. Everyone thinks it looks old school.
