What are you guys running for..
 
Shifter?

Jtm2085 05-29-2010 09:09 PM

GMM and Billet are the most popular. Check out ls1 gto and look for a guy named proxes. He alters MGW shifters and sells them cheaper than you can get either of the ones I listed.

I just bought an 05 yellow jacket M6.. Its got a GMM shifter in it..I like it alot.. :) Just wondering what everyone else had..

Robofuzz 05-29-2010 10:12 PM

GMM Street version. Much better than the stock shifter.

Irocem99 05-30-2010 01:42 PM

I'm not sure which version I have,I can find out.. I do like it a lot..

I had a B and M for less then 5000 miles, it broke when i shifted into neutral. Went back to stock after that.

I still have no idea how i was just driving along and that it decided to brake when i put it in neatral to coast to a stop.

Irocem99 05-30-2010 03:47 PM

That's kinda weird..

Nice man, congrats.

I'm still on the stocker and hate it with a passion. :bang:

Had a Billet Pro on my old GTO. Hands down the best shifter. Not cheap though

Way better then a B and M.

ANother stupid problem was that it would often make my 3 to 4 upshift into a 3 to 2 downshift. I have absolutely nothing good to say about it.

GMM or Billet

I was like you but got a Lou's Short Stick(LSS) Easy replacement of the stock handle and made a WORLD of difference. Best cheap mod I did that made driving
the car more fun. Install was a 20 min. job.
In short if you don't want to spend the $$ on a good shifter, just get the LSS. It does make a difference, shorter throw and seems a little more firm going into gears.

Hey i was looking at your mods list and i have a quick question, you dont have headers?

Seems like with a cam that size you are leaving a good chunk of power on the table IMO.

Irocem99 05-31-2010 09:45 PM

Its weird,the shifter position on mine feels like its over too far..1st feels like 3rd..Should be more to the left..Anyone else with GMM have that feeling?

I've heard nothing but bad things about B&M shifters.

Although I reeeeeally want the GMM shifter with hurst lever I saw on ls1gto.com. Looks like secks.

Might have to check that out. Got a link?

Biggest pet peeve is, it feels soft going into gears like you said. Also the looooong throws. :eyes:

I had the B&M and later traded it for a GMM Race.
My B&M functioned ok, but I was getting leaks from underneath the shifter.
So far my GMM Race has been a great shifter for the GTO. Very well made.
People also really seem to like the new MGW-P shifter as well.

Irocem99 06-01-2010 04:14 PM

I was told by the previous owner that I have the GMM race version.. :)

dkrowner 06-01-2010 07:08 PM

GMM race here

Rob 06-01-2010 08:36 PM

I have the GMM. Mine is what is now called the race one but when I bought mine, they only made one shifter.

06X6spdGTO 06-01-2010 09:24 PM

GMM race with Lou's Short Stick

still havent had time to install the Lou's Short Stick yet. So just the GMM for now
