Shifter

To each his own. Thats maybe why there is more than one shifter available, lol.
I had a cheetah in my car too. Driver error was too easy, rmvb too easy to go 1,3,2,3. Moved the cheetah into my powerglide car, put in a ratchet, never missed 2nd gear again.
Edit. Had to change the top plate for glide use on the cheetah. No big deal. I have the switch console in the glide car too, use most of the switches and the start button.

I have found with my Cheetah, when I launch the car I just have my hand just above the shifter, and merely tap it, goes into second, then I put my hand on it and pull it into third.
don’t have any issues like that at all. The features and switch( es) offsets any negatives.
like anything else, just involves having a routine. I try and do the exact same thing every lap, that said, sometimes I still suck…lol
