nope, I have an MWA shifter. I can adjust the length on mine over a 60mm range, the length its set to in the pic is the best I have found for shift weight without making it feel like a kenworth

Why such long shifters?. Running mine with the smaller momo knob "in the pic" . . Nice and short. Makes the shifting stroke nice and short. Good for quick shifts.

Personally I find with the longer shifter with the rip shifter base I have roughly the same amount of throw as standard maybe 5mm to 10mm less... but yeh with the extra length I have heaps of feel and it's actually easier to shift gears with more leverage too.

With the ability to shift with more feel and ease I have more confidence in changing faster.... everyone's different though.

^whs I'l take a shifter with 10-15mm more throw and a nicely weighted feel over a short shifter that requires stupid amounts of force and has .00001mm tolerance to a mis shift.

Your right each to ya own and how ya like it. . .but even with my solid mounted short stick iv never had trouble missings gears or being extra heavy. Maybe a little more practice is in order lol

I ran a shortened stick and solid bushes for quite sometime. Going back to a longer isolated mount stick is much much nicer and just as quick through the gear with a whole let less noise transmission into the cab.

Never missed a shift? not even one????......................................Maybe a little bit more enthusiastic driving is required......?

Just jokin ralphy all good. Giving henz one of my shifters soon. Its ready for him now but he wants me to thread it m12 so his purple *beep* friend can go on. Lol. Funny.

The old VZ SS I had I used to miss 3rd occasionally when stock, not as often as some but often enough.

Put a MWA shifter in it and never ever missed 3rd again. I loved it.

Shame I now have a ZF :( A proper shifter with a slightly modded handle would be a real treat. I always thought Falcons and Dunnydoors needed to angle the stick over to the right a little.
