Default Shift *****: What do you have?

Which aftermarket shift ***** do you have? What are the pros and cons to yours?

I agree. Shift ***** is for if you either a) have done everything else possible to your car or b) don't have enough money to buy some other mod

I have the stock 35th anniversary/mach1/bullitt ****, and it sucks. Every morning, I freeze my palm off, and every summer, it leaves the damn shift pattern blistered into your palm. Lose lose situation. I want an MGW composite ****, but just cant see spending friggin 60 bucks for a shift ****. I think Id be too pissed at myself.

Ya should do a shiftknob upgrade when you put your MGW in it. Any other shifter is junk.
