[QUOTE="MGW, post: 11793481, member: 4853"] i think there is a BIG difference between "tweaking " a design over the 10 production batches based on cusotmer feedback which were cmainly choices of type of fasteners ( ie using a locknut instead of a lock washer and standard nut, making the dust boot a little softer only to ease the hassle of attaching it. ) these changes dont really make the shifter someone bought in the beginning any LESS of a shifter only harder to install etc. thats a big difference from making a product then completely changing it. as far as turning you off i am sorry ( sincerely not just saying that) i posted that i was having a long day and flamed away on dave . i didnt retract it because the statements had merit but in the end i know that barton is a good company and that there will be people that will buy his and those that choose mine. but thats why its a free country. i just get frustrated when people that have NOT noight my product and see what is involved with it base assumptions on its quality and price justification. look at the other shifters out there... do they... come with a cusotm shift boot. ( tooling was 6k!!! ) come with sound deadening and NVH dampening materials in the cost. come with a billet lower box with stronger centering springs. have a HARDENED and ground reverse lockout plate and pin. not plastic. oh and also major major update!!! i just installed another v6 car today at 11 oclock from a soldier at ft stewart. we measured his throw stock... 3.750 from 3-4 ours is 2.500!!! so thats actually 30 percent plus. i originally made this shifter with a 3/4 inch longer shaft but TRavis ( the owner of this site and the one who made the great install videos suggested lowering it for better feel after they reviewed it.) well i never recaluclated the throw since i based it on the higher shaft. so the throw is not 25 its about 33 percent!!! so in fact i was UNDER selling the shifter this whole time. regards george [/QUOTE]
