I LOVE my $200 B&M ProRatchet, first thing I do is sell the 5' cable and buy a 4' cable and a 3' section of heat sleeve, no problems on a big block A-body and it's impossible to miss a shift like you can easily do on the Cheetah and Winters type shifters.
I'd like a PPP shifter just for the rear cable exit but can't justify the price for my street cruiser.
