Well I ordered the shifter. It's the Summit shifter that some guy was selling on ebay for $35 bucks. It is $125 on the Summit website, so I figure if its no good, I can just sell it again. I can make at least my money back. I talked to another buddy at home, and his friend has this shifter and likes it, so we shall see. ANYTHING is better than the stock wet noodle.
Another question though: I have read in a few places that the Tremec 3650 shifter that's in the car has internal shift stops. A few people say to set the shift stops on the shifter as well, but some people say not to. Anyone with experience on this? I am thinking I'll just set the shift stops back slightly from where I would want them if there were no internal shift stops. This would just be like some kind of extra insurance for my shift forks.
