replacement shifter

I've got a Hurst Quarter Stick in mine, reverse pattern (to work with my Cheetah valve body). I changed the knob to one with a button on it for the line lock.

I love it. It's easy to use, and takes loads of abuse. If you're going to be racing, you want a shifter that has a positive stop between gears. With the QS and the reverse pattern, I pull 1st to 2nd gear HARD (towards me, not away), then grab the trigger and pull hard again to go from 2nd to 3rd. There's no way to go from 1st to 3rd without pulling the trigger, and no way to go into reverse without pushing the lockout trigger.

When I started my car had a Hurst Pro-Matic. I liked the ratchet, and the fact that the shifter stayed in the same spot no matter what gear I was in, but it didn't work very well. And having to pull up on the shifter to get in/out of reverse sucked.

The B&M Quicksilver and the Hurst Pro-Matic are the same.
The B&M Magnum Grip Pro Stick is the same as the Hurst Pistol Grip Quarter Stick.
The B&M Pro Stick is the same as the Hurst Quarter Stick.

I'd love to have a Hurst Pistol Grip Quarter Stick, but I don't want to pay for it. :P

If money was no object, I'd get the Turbo Action Cheetah SCS. The nice thing about that one (besides the shifter itself) is the rear-exit cable - it comes out of the back of the shifter instead of the front.
