[QUOTE="TcM-668, post: 75697, member: 2854"] My B&M ripper shifter for my T5 did not come with a handle, you re-used your old one, sans bushings, if you choose to do so...the factory shifter assy is not bad, but the 2-3 shift is not really assisted at all so you have to hunt for 3rd from time to time... The factory shifter handle has the rubber bushings, but you could sleve the bolts with steel/aluminum/nylon isolators that go into the shifter, or temporarily put a stainless steel washer under the bolt head, to see if you like the feel. You could also just braze up the holes and then re-drill them as well. Anything to eliminate the rubber isolators. The Steeda shifter assy/ handle is not designed to use the bushings, so it just bolts up. some people don't like the way it off-sets the shifter handle though, so it truly is personal taste. I like the Steeda Tri-Ax since it does all but shift 3rd for you...I just come out of 2nd, pushing with the palm of my hand, and the shifter drops right into 3rd everytime(assuming I don't foul up with the clutch)...but some people do not like the aggressive 2-3 shift...You almost have to fight the shifter if you are down shifting from 3-2...From 5-4 is great, just drop it down, and it will find 4th with little to no problems... ...still not idiot proof though...heheheh Just my $ .02 worth... Don... [/QUOTE]
