I really like mine, I had them in 3 cars. I think the Winters/ Sidewinders and Turbo-Action use the same mechanism and cable setup.

I like using modern, dummy proof, Winter's 1975 technology, since I'm shifting a 1960's designed transmission attached to a 1958 designed engine....kinda like a rotary dial phone, never drops calls and haven't had a dead battery in one yet.

Maybe we should all update to the new gated Precision Performance ones.....wait, that's right, I just remembered I had a gated shifter, it came factory in my "1970" Cuda. They called it a Slap-stick then.

Ratchet shifters are alright, they do get a little confused if you ask them to make more than one gear change though.
