Post Which shifter should I get?

I've been looking at the Hurst Dual Gate and the B&M Console Megashifter. I don't have a picture for the hurst but if you go to www.mrgasket.com and click on online catalogs, blah, blah blah... I believe its on page 8 of the catalog.

Both are console shifters but have diferant features. I like the B&M because it has the boot but I also like the Hurst because of the dual gate feature.

I can't decide... Help me out guys!

Thanks, Ken

I love my B&M megashifter. Hope that helps

I dont like how i have to put the car in drive before i put it in park in order for it to go into park. Either way i am going to put a B&M megashifter in my other car.

I think I'm going t oend up going with the B&M too. Especailly after I found out its aobut $100 cheaper.

The only thing I'll do is put a ball shifter on it. I'm not a big fan of the T-handle shifters.

I got the mega shifter. I love it. I like the ball shifter look better myself, and you can get them for our cars (hurst quarter stick and b&m pro stick) but I didnt like the way they shifted and they only ratcheted one way. as in would go from 4 to 1 in one motion like stock. Im getting a manual valvebody that has reversed pattern so I needed it to go both ways.
have fun w/the install!
