b&m ripper w/ lou's short stick review


this thing is the ****! picked it up off some dude on camaroz28 and just got finished throwin it in and so far i am VERY pleased...only problem i can see so far is that the shifter sits a little to the right in its boot in the console...not enough to cause any problems but enough that you know its not dead center...i will NEVER miss 3rd gear again, its practically impossible with this thing...oh and one more problem i've faced; i no longer have any traction whatsoever on the 1-2 shift

I still have to do the shifter, Ive been practicing hard on the stock set up, but theirs so many times that I miss 3rd and sometimes even 5th.

Are Lous Short Sticks just over-all better even if you buy a short throw that may include one?

You may want to check what shifter you really have, because I was under the impression that the B&M shifter had a solid stick, and was unable to be switched with a LSS



maybe you have a pro 5.0? or a stock hurst maybe??
