Sorry its so big.. i find i have to say that often.
TWM M1 Abrams..
also have one in half black resin for summer time
Have since cut the TWM short shifter down over an inch so the threads stop level w the shifter srround base....as well and added a gated shifter over the top of all this.. including a zeetoyz finisher.
After all that.. i will say... aside from look at me status, Stock **** is a very good option to retain.
Heres what i use when my TWM shifter breaks at 70mph on the FWY..
this thread needs some 'Busey:

LOL! So it just went boom? That's odd.
Doesn't that one feel kind of small? Looks pretty good.
I really like how this looks. Any complaints about it?
When you guys change the shift **** does changing gears or w/e feel any different?
Basically, does the **** you're using have an effect on your driving experience?

Feels like a damn science fair project now

A different shift setup can definitely make a big change in the way the car feels. The Momo **** is very heavy, which smooths things out, and I prefer a short shifter, but other guys may not. A shorter lever requires more force and precision than a longer one, but the trade-off is shorter throws between gears. The large round **** is nice because I can just palm it and don't even really have to grip it. I prefer to shift with my palm facing down, but others may like to have their palm facing to the left, so a more vertically-shaped **** might be better. There's no best solution.
