Shifter ?
Shifter ? My wife and I recently purchaced her a 04 GTO M6. As I have read, the shifter is, well lets just say in need of an upgrade. I found the GMM Ripshift $360. 
I also found a B&M for $170. I want to get rid of the used and abused ex-girlfriend feeling in the shifter but also want one with the usual short shift and some mechanical stops at a fairly reasonable price but try not to pay $300+ bucks. I did use the search but would also like to hear some you guys thoughts. Any suggestions would be appreciated?
Thanks

I would keep my stock shifter before I got a B&M.
Go with a used GMM, or Billet Products shifter. I would skip the Harrop unless you want VERY notchy shifts, but maybe it was just the one I drove. I have stock with LSS right now, but I am going with the Billet.

Billet specialties is much better than the GMM....the GMM is okay, but the billet is the end all be all shifter. I wish I'd just saved the money and bought the Billet, the GMM is tall, and its throws are not that short, though I must admit I have never missed third since adding this shifter. Just wish it offered different **** options, was a true short throw shifter, and didn't look as tall in the console as the stocker.
I also upgraded because I broke the B&M shifter 4 times, those bolts sheared off in the assembly on me twice and I actually broke one of the pieces in half once (B&M replaced). I found a used GMM race from a member in vegas for a couple hundred and pounced just to get the B&M out of the car. I bought the car used with the B&M and it did not come with a stock shifter assembly.
I have the GMM race and the only thing that I'd say I would want a little better would be a little shorter through. But even as it is, it's light years ahead of the stock shifter. That thing was total crap!
Anyone heard anything on the Hurst that JEG's has? I guess I may get the GMM here soon. My wife is wanting to take it back to the track but I want to get a shifter in there before we do but I am sure she will have it out there before we have a shifter for it. Thanks for all you folks opinions and comments as I look forward to learn more about the GTO's.
