What kind of Shift **** r u using? How do you like it over others?

I try to find a good one suit for myself. They have so many out there in different brand.

In general, what's the weight of the shift **** affect your driving experience? lighter better?

r u prefer MoMo or Razo? also ball type or rod type?

thx.

I've got the Sparco Bio....definitely lighter than the stock ****, which I like, makes shifting quicker.

I've got the MOMO Raptor ****. Very tall. I am going to cut the stock lever soon. Here is a picture.

I am looking for a shift **** just to make it shorter instead of the stock one.

if it becomes shorter, should i pick a light one to make it shift faster?

Yeah a lighter one will help shifting, that 2 ounces you shave of will increase your ability to shift by three miliseconds.
If you want to notice a faster shift, install a short shifter. Not a lighter shift ***.
I changed my *** just to match the interior better. I have a Momo ball, half carbon.

I have a MOMO Sphere and love it. Totally comfy. I believe that is doesn't have anything to do with my shifting but, it's comfortable.

some people like heavier shift ***** to act as a sort of counterweight. sounds like a good idea, at least better than a really light one

The stock shifter **** will fit perfectly fine on your B&M short shifter. so no need to worry.
