Default Which Short Shifter should i do?

I have heard these first two short shifters are just as legit as the B&M shortshifters...is that true?

Default Just asked the same question on the 12v forum. . .

And a guy recommended the one from RokuCreations

But that other one comes with a shift boot : )

probably the exact same thing, it is just a machined stick of metal after all.

Though I think I'm gonna go with the RokuCreation.

Default support the tuner shops - dieselgeek makes the one I personally like the best, very

smooth and doesn't have that 'notchy' feeling you get with some others

Default The only one to get and worth every penny.

I have all of his products in my car and the shifter feels so much more solid.

Solid short shifter
Shift linkage

Also have a new bushing setup from them that keeps the shifter box from moving which makes it way easier to get each shift into gear with less effort.
