I'm using a Ripper shifter as soon as it gets here.The UPR handle may be just fine.Who has used one like the one I described?Or,are the opinions just pre-judged opinions?

Who cares what color it is?It'll be under a leather shifter boot.As far as cheaper metals,we'll see.If it works great,then it works great,UPR or not.


Its not a color, its anodized metal versus an ordinary casting.

Not that I know it really makes a difference, but MGW is a higher quality design.

I would get that if I wasn't going to get the Nascar short throw shifter or also known as the Hurst Comption Plus short throw shirter.

Anodized is the process of coloring the aluminum blue or red,or whatever.I haven't had either shift lever yet,so,I can't say anything about the quality.UPR sent me two adjustable clutch cables,and they were great.They also sent me a firewall adjuster,which was anodized blue,and also a nice piece.My money says that the shifter will work as it should with no worries.It's like anything else,not everyone here runs the highest quality tire made.They get what works fine for the money (most everyone).It's a shift lever.I want it for comfort,which,I'm betting this lever will supply just fine.No big deal,It's on the way and will be used a lot.

Right,it's for the surface.As far as old school,I just don't think the design of our cars pull that off very well.These are a breed all their own,but,in the end,it's all about personal preference.

Turbocoupeman...I have the Hurst shifter on my car...it's abominable...I'm half tempted to rip it off and put a j/y shifter back on...save some pennies for an MGW and put a shiny Hurst  on it...after driving around in my buddies T-5 equipped Maverick (with MGW shifter) it makes me feel like I'm rowing through the gears in a Mack truck with my Hurst shifter.
