Although a real '73 Roadrunner, mine originally had a column shift. No way, I said, so I installed the proper column, the proper Slap Stik brackets, and then the Slap Stik. It has a real meaty feel to it, which can't be described until felt........the shifts from 1 to 2, and 2 to 3 are positive and firm. Correctness? Technically it is wrong for my car, although offered.......but it is mine, and only tag readers would ever pick up on it.........in your case it is your car, you can always switch it back.
