Razo new shift ****

Hey I just pick a nice Razo shift **** it's black with red stich on it. It goes perfect with the 99 shift boot and E-brake boot. There is two type one is {type 170g} and the other is {type 400g} Anyway it look like just like the 99 stock shift **** and also I think 170g mean 170 grams it weight. I will try to keep some pictures this weekend for those who are instrest.BTW is $60.00 for it.

actually good countersunk shift ***** reduce the throw and provide much better feel and control.

Is it the universal kind or is it threaded? I have a cool Sparco **** in red and black leather but it kept coming loose so I had to put the original one back on. E-mailed Sparco but they couldn't bother responding.

a ******* **** isn't gonna reduce the throw no matter what you say. it's simple physics.

exactly.

lets say you installed a shift **** that was 2 feet tall. how far would you have to move your hand to complete a 1-2 shift for example, as opposed to a countersunk **** that sat as low on the shifter as possible.

which would have a shorter throw?

it is simple physics.

SO TRUE. That's why I spent my $50 on my 400g Razo. I don't have to force anything. It goes in with ease...
