Best aftermarket shifter?

[viperama]

Maybe some of you know the Problem of a missed 2-3 shift.

Since i installed a shortert shifter know, throw is slightly better.
But under some circumstances it is still a little bit difficult to make
a flawless 2-3 shift.

On dcperformance' website i saw a modified stock shifter for 85$ which
should cure this problem.

Did anybody try this one?

How does it compare to a B&M shifter? Did you notice any improvement in
2-3 shifts with a B&M?

I have a b&m ripper and a mgw gripper nob. Its the best combo by far.

Thanks for the the advice... think i will go for some A/C Knobs in satin finish to match the shifter.

First strike from MGW. Simply the best!

I also have the first strike and I love it

Well, i ordere a B&M shifter and a Snake Gripper from MGW (plus A/C knobs in satin finish).

The "First Strike" looked a little to bulky for my taste but i believe that it is much more handy... think i will add it to my x-mas wishlist.

great combo

Thanks,
do you know if anybody offers trim rings for the meters in satin finish too?

Think my '97s all plastic interior would look better with some pieces of alloy.

As far as shifters, both of my teammates installed the comp coupe shifter on their GTS's. It is a shorter throw and very precise. What a difference it makes over the stock shifter. I have the B&M shifter and knob, the comp coupe shifter is much smoother and precise.

Dino,

I thought the first strike looked bulky too. Always had grippers. My latest car came with both, and after seeing the first strike in person...it's actually quite lean. Maybe a 1/4" - 3/8" taller, but a good thickness. I tried it and the best part is the material it's made from, doesn't get incinerator hot like the metal grippers. Just a FYI.

What is the gripper made of?

The B&M shifter has no rubber insulation like the stock one... think heat will become an issue.
