I can tell you what I don't like!

I'd stay away from a Hurst Quarter Stick
It's real easy to go from 1st to 3rd if you don't pull the lever in properly And it's a long throw back to 3rd from 2nd.

I'm paying close attention for everyones opinion also but I have a reverse manual and wan't to be able to smack the thing from 1st to 2nd without having to jump through any hoops.

Then be able to go from 3rd to nutral after I slow down a bit after the stripe.

Hope I dind't highjack the post!
