[QUOTE="YGETV8, post: 2286364, member: 9646"] I use the blue. Bought it used and that's what it came with. But... with my short reach I was having a difficult time with 1-3-5 gear positions. I liked the short throws and shifting precision, however I wasn't a fan of the shift knob being so straight up and down. So, I figured I could kill two birds with one stone: I disassembled the shifter handle by removing the stud, placed it in a vise and heated it up with an acetylene torch just above the level of where it sat once mounted in the blue arm. I then bent it to about a 30-35 degree angle. Cooled, reassembled, and put it back on the car and I LOVE it! Fixed my reach problem and I find it more asthetically pleasing having a slight angle to the knob (close to stock) and I still have the shorter throws of the blue handle! Thought I'd share my experiences if anybody has the same concerns I did. [/QUOTE]
