What Shifter do you run?
 

Just curius what folks use on here and just trying to start a conversation thanks!

Re: What Shifter do you run?
 

PRECISION PERFORMANCE PRODUCTS shifter the only one to run--- never ever miss a shift!!!

Re: What Shifter do you run?
 

X2. The PPP shifter is flawless.

Re: What Shifter do you run?
 

Long. It goes back and forth without the ad of an oxygen bottle. Oxygen bottles are for old geezers that can't breathe. The Long shifter requires driver manipulation. There's even a separate lever for reverse. It's pretty complicated but after some practice you'll get the hang of it!

Re: What Shifter do you run?
 

Jeff --for a manual trans a Long is a great shifter ya just need to make sure that you have heims on shifter rod ends- you have the nuetral adjustment pin set perfectly- no wear/slop in the shifter arms and that the sliders are not burred and it will shift like a dream---FED387

For autos...Turbo Action. I've had the same one in my car for roughly 25 years.

I like my Hurst Quarter Stick. Has been in the car for years and 1000s of passes. Just have to replace the shifter cable once every 10 years or so. I've used the same shifter with forward pattern glides and reverse pattern 3 speeds with no issues.

Re: What Shifter do you run?
 

The new stick guys stay young because they don't waste all of their energy....

They should try shifting with their right hand and left foot at the same time, every time.......

Now that was what made me an old man...

Re: What Shifter do you run?
 

Long for manual transmissions

Winters/ATI or Turbo Action for the auto.

Re: What Shifter do you run?
 

:D
X3 on the Long!

Re: What Shifter do you run?
 

Turbo Action is a very good shifter
Not much to wear out or break.
Great with Power Glide.
Great with air and electric shifter.
Manual shift with 3 Speed Auto not all that good with certain shift pattern.

Precision Performance the finest shifter made.
Never miss a shift.
Works great shifting manually or air / electric
Takes a little getting used to.
Cost of the base model only a little higher than Turbo Action.

Have used Turbo Action with PG for many years with no problem.
With 3 Speed had trouble shifting 1st to 3rd. Not fun loosing rounds like that.
NO problems with Precision Performance Products shifter.

Re: What Shifter do you run?
 

I posted previously about the PPP shifter.

I have had the Turbo Action, Hurst Quarter stick, and the PPP. All worked great but the PPP is some much easier to use. I have add all three in either electric, air or manual.

Unless you have used a PPP it is really hard to understand why so many people like it. Had I known early on how great the shifters are, I would have purchased one from the start.

Just my .02

Re: What Shifter do you run?
 

I fully agree. I have had others too. Didn't what the big deal was until I bought one.

Re: What Shifter do you run?
 

I have both PPP and Turboaction........for your straightforward reverse pattern the Turboaction is great for my Lil Red and Gremlin.....it also was fine with my 70 challenger....for a clean nuetral tranny like in the Dragpak the PPP is really nice, the Turbo action used with a clean nuetral tranny is touchy, and if you aren't careful you can do the 1-3 thing...used in the dakota.....it has a different faceplate, and works but it can be tricky... Long for stick of course..70 challenger..too bad they don't make one for a auto, that would be a best seller for sure.

I can't speak for non-mopar uses, or non-driver shifted uses...IE air shifted, electric shift......others can chime in.

I had the same issues many years ago, shifting 1st to 3rd on occasion. I found that TA made a reverse shift specific gate plate which cured the problem.

Re: What Shifter do you run?
 

3 speed, forward pattern, manually shifting 1-2 with the wheels in the air, every week, no trouble ever!

Re: What Shifter do you run?
 

I've always used TA, Paul Forte pays contingency and stands behind his stuff. It's also nice to be able to just switch plates when going from 3 speed to PG and you can make it rear entry cable or front within 10 minutes. Understand Eric's point about easily getting to clean neutral but obviously not everyone is concerned about that anyway.

Re: What Shifter do you run?
 

Turbo Action,3sp,fwd, I found you can't have a death grip on theT handle,if so you can go by 2nd into high, just slap it between 1-2 and it'll spring into the 2nd detent,works everytime.

Re: What Shifter do you run?
 

Me too. Max-Wedge Cars with push-buttons are cool. I get 2 very different reactions from people - those over 50 who grew up in the Muscle Car era just smile when they see the pushbuttons are still there - and the younger ones who stare inside the car for a while and then ask "where's your shifter?".

And I must say there is a little more skill involved in using your left hand to stab a button for the 1-2 shift just as you pass the 60 ft. clock - instead of having the E-Shift doing your work for you.

Re: What Shifter do you run?
 

I too use the Triple P Shifter, they are great people to deal with. It is a shame their stuff is so good ,you rarely have to talk with them. Again had I known how good the product was I could have saved quite a bit of money....

Re: What Shifter do you run?
 

Ed, what can anyone say you are them man!

If I didn't take my hand off the shifter it would slip into 3rd some times when the spring would move the handle to the right for the next gate. Just don't want to think about it. Had no problem selling it!

The Precision shifter never fails! And looks cool!

Pushed the buttons myself for a couple of years. Never had a problem!

Re: What Shifter do you run?
 

well you certainly ain't the man!

50 year old push buttons never missed a shift or fell out of gear including 1-2 shift
with wheels in the air

Re: What Shifter do you run?
 

Hi Jim, yeah, same here. My 50 year old pushbuttons had 98K on them when I got the car in 71. I leave the line with my thumb on the second gear button, not possible to miss a shift. I cant figure out why people put floor shifters in pushbutton cars.
