+1 on the Duncan. he also sells a bolt in plate that turns the stock shifter into a slapstick. It's all reversible if you want to go back to stock. Who is this Steve guy and his upgrade? A link would be nice. Just checked the Gunslinger site. His are slapstick stock on up. My 73 Charger broke the slapstick and it was not due to abuse of any kind. I also had an 87 Buick GN and that was the most worthless POS shifter ever. I mean it worked and all, but was just a flimsy design on a well crafted car. I never shifted it manually, and it seemed to break also from very light use.
