Well - it may be opinion or it could be fact - but PPP IMO is the best shifter you can buy. Apparently about 95% of the money is no object racers agree. Add in that PPP has never, not once, had a shifter returned due to a defect or malfunction and that is pretty good testimant to the quality and performance.

Whether you are pushing or pulling - it is impossible to inadvertantly mis-shift. Now - push-pull - it is all personal preference.

well, my question still is, if I pull to upshift, do I need to pull the lever also? Or just the handle - because if I have to pull both to upshift, then obviously I'd rather push (or "slam") just the handle to upshift.....

On the Hurst 1/4 stick you need the lever for
third, and to get reverse and park.

B&M Stealth Pro Rachet. Currently running a forward manual vb, soon to switch to a reverse. The shifter doesn't care!

One thing that I like about the pro ratchet is that
it returns to the same spot after you shift... it doesnt
keep getting farther or closer with each shift

I like the reverse manual v/b as to me it is much easier pulling the shifter to me when racing. Ron

For years I had a TF2 forward action vb with a B&M Z gate forward action and got along well with it, then I got a CRT FMVB and installed the B&M ProRatchet. Works even better!
