I had the Hurst and didn't like the feel, shifts felt sloppy to me. I switched to the B+M ( mine is older and has the stops/jam nuts - new ones do not ). Anywho, The ripper is 7 years old with no problems.

Don't know if the newer version are the same, but with my ripper is it an 18mm thread and B+M makes no race style shifter balls/handles for it? You have to use either stock ball = which sits a bit high on the shifter so you loose some of the short throw feel. Other options are a hurst ball or an exspensive aftermarket billet handle. I have the hurst T-handle which makes the throw feel allot crisper to me, but then I've been using those handles for almost 20 years.
