Forged Internal. (From Sharif)

Perfectly weighted, nice finish, has a base. Makes a notchy gear box feel that much smoother.

I tried the Nismo, and a few Sparcos, but honestly.Nothing feels as easy to shift as the stock one IMO.

Nismo GT is what I have, honestly though its going to come down to what you like both aesthetically and how it feels in your hand.

Tommy Kaira =)

As the thread asked.. I think it is the best feeling and looking shift ****. Most shift ***** for me feel too flimsy.

I have tried a few Sparco, most of the Nismo (Favorite Nismo would be the GT titanium), but so far I prefer the TK over the other ones.

I saw the "What's the best looking..." in the thread title and laughed immediately. Looks are subjective - research shift ***** and find the one that YOU think is the best looking.

+1. With my previous cars, I'd try a new shift **** about once a year and NEVER found a single "type" or brand worth sticking with.

I really like the OEM, my only issue with it is that the throw is just a tad bit longer than I'm used to but it doesn't bother me enough to change it...

Yea I agree with the other dude looks and fell are subjective. It's like asking what is the best looking color on a Z.

I mean we all know the best color is red anyway but people still ask.
