Will a 3rd gen shifter fit in a 2nd gen?

I was wondering, cause I was thinking of picking up a B&M ripper. If they are different, how so?

No.
I have heard the 3rd gen tranny will fit though, but can't verify. I think you would need your own tranny mount if you went that route.
3rd gen tranny gets you the lower 5th gear ratio.

Im not good with rations, what would a lower ratio do? better top speed/gas milage, or acceleration/lower top speed?

Higher top speed and lower rpms in fifth for better fuel economy.
