After owning a Precision (PPP) shifter, I would not consider anything else.

PPP is a slick shifter, just have always used a TurboAction because with optional gate plate(s) it can be used on about anything and cable direction can be changed very easily (as well as air shift solenoid). Paul also has a "informal" contingency program.

Hey Ed, please elaborate on how this wonderful shifter functions......it has a "lever" too from the picture---is it squeezed on any of the shifts ??? Does it have a detent for each forward gear that prevents shifting past the gear----please elaborate on functional operation......inquiring minds want to know ???

Super easy to use. They are gated so you just move it forward, it shifts and locks in. You only squeeze to put it in 1st gear or downshift. Just a small bump forward and its in the next gear. Super smooth and after using one its hard to want to use anything else. Reverse lock out requires pushing the top down with your thumb and squeezing the handle.

Rusty - I made a video this afternoon of the shifter in action. I'll post it here when I get home from work. Pretty much bullet proof and no fumbling with levers or worries about over-travel.
