I'll melt it down and take it to the s yard before I curse anyone else with it.


Sounds like me and every car I've driven with a B&M Ripper. :)

B&M Rippers are so notchy its like they put granola in the gearbox. I thought maybe it was me and Fords, but then I drove a Porsche 911 Turbo with a Ripper and heard people trash them up at that price point too.

Well,as soon as I get my new shift lever and bolt it to the B&M shifter,I'll form an opinion and post it here.

I've never had anything but issues with B&M...every single product I've used from them...shift kit for AOD-missing parts...Z-Gate shifter-had a muddy 4" long cable sealed in the bag(instead of proper shift cable)...shift kit for '72 C4-complete epic fail...

Yeah, tell us how you are doing with it. I got the MGW and installed it, its a nice piece.  $30, came in two days, and now I configured it to be perfect (ergonomically) for my arm.

I put the optional rubber slab between the pro5.0 shifter and the MGW handle.  Haven't driven it too much yet, but I swear the car is quieter and has less vibrations too.

+1 for the MGW.
