Hey, I'm looking to buy a short shifter for my BF t-56. I've found 2 possible ones I would like but haven't found any solid info comparing the two or what one is respectively better?

 

Malwoods short shifter:https://malwoodauto.com.au/product/ultimate-street-short-throw-shifter-to-suit-ba-bf-t56/

or

Rip Shifter:https://www.tuffcarparts.com.au/ba-bf-ford-falcon-6-cyl-v8-6-speed-manual-ripshift

 

Any blokes who've tried both and preferred one over the other or any negatives with either? Cheers for any help!

I have a rip shift, it's really good and tight with nice gate definition.

Just be careful not to set the overthrow stops correctly, especially for the shifts on the pull of the shifter (2nd, 4th and 6th gears)

otherwise you will destroy the synchro rings and possibly the selector mechanism...

I did in the original box, but was told about this before setting up the new box.
