What shifter is better, B&M, Katech, or UUC
I'm looking at buying a new shifter and wanted to see what everybody thinks is the best shifter.

Just like a !CAGS Eliminator, there is only one. The rest are just cheesy copies.
Search is your friend.

Re: What shifter is better, B&M, Katech, or UUC
I tried a UUC and had no idea it was a short throw. I knew something was different but didn't know what. Then I was told that the car has a UUC.
I love my B&M.

Re: What shifter is better, B&M, Katech, or UUC
I love my B&M too, never tried the others. Some say the B&M is loud, but I don't think so.
B&M $200 on ebay, Katech $250 from lingenfelter, UUC...not sure but I think almost $400 from Lindsay?
I figured I'd save some $ for other mods and went for the B&M.

Re: What shifter is better, B&M, Katech, or UUC
Driven both UUC and B&M. Both great. Price dif not justified, IMHO.

Re: What shifter is better, B&M, Katech, or UUC
Katech for me, no issues, and love the feel...Very secure and simple instructions...
This is my second Katech, the first was just a solid piece, but now they changed to a quieter model...
