B&M pro stick, this video shows that it doesn't just slap up into 3rd, but requires the handle to be squeezed? Is that right. Why would they do that? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ooXaFtrTGtURe the Pro ratchet, I have one and drive it around every weekend on the street. I'm never confused about what gear I'm in and if I ever do look at the shifter, e.g. sitting at a light to see if I'm in 1st (or I might just try to ratchet it back), it's certainly not anything that takes any thought or effort. Yes on the B & M Pro stick you just pull it back for second gear and then squeeze the handle to pull third. Its so simple a 4 year old kid could do it. From first you just pull it straight back and it wont go into third so you squeeze the lever when you pull it back for third. Its not hard so squeeze the lever as its very easy and takes very little effort. I love it as I like a shifter that moves its position for every gear. I don't like the ratchet shifter like my brother used to run where the shifter returns to the same spot after every shift. I went with the B & M Pro Stick because it was not a ton of money and is simple to use. Ron

Something that's not a ton of money, but easy to use. I think I have a mental block about the shifter being in the same spot every time you shift....that's what I think, I know it's personal preference. This may just be the toughest decision I'll make on the whole dang car! I really appreciate all the help gang! Wally.

Man shifter prices have gone up. $384 for a TA cheetah, $303 for a B&M
pro ratchet :|
I just looked at my summit receipt and the TA cheetah was $280 way back in 2014. if you haven't bought one I have a TA reverse pattern i'll ship it to you for $225. but I lost the little Crosby clamp that holds the cable to the trans. you can pick one up pretty cheap.

Mine broke too, hence the fix. Pulled into the staging lanes and "POP"...I went rounds, but it wasn't easy. It's an aluminum turn buckle from Lowes  I too broke the threads off my Pro-Ratchet by using a tall pistol grip handle on a 35 degree day. I put it in park too aggressively and snapped it off. I'm confused on the aluminum turnbuckle, do you have more pics? I'd like to go back to the pistol grip and mount it like yours.

TCI = They Copied It. Looks like a skeletonized, flimsy Pro Stick.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.
