I got my BPS last Friday and put it on Sunday. I also special ordered a custom made shift knob that they made special for me, and cut me a real deal on it too. What a nice shifter setup. It's everything that (3 letter name) should have been and then some, for less money. I'm so pleased by this purchase.
Thank you Billet Pro Shop.

It is. It weighs almost nothing. If I had a drill press I'd be tempted to dimple it and make it even lighter but that would probably be overkill as it's so light already.
I don't understand the whole heavy shift knob thing. I want to feel what the transmission is doing, not slam gears and break things.

The difference between this and (three letter works P.o.S.) is amazing. I could tell right away that the reverse lockout tang is IN THE RIGHT PLACE, which made it dead easy to adjust this shifter.
On top of that, with (three letter word P.o.S) the cable clamp was designed poorly. It was difficult to tighten the 3rd screw, and it popped off of the bottom of the shifter easily. The snap ring didn't hold well. The BPS cable clamp was designed far better and was easy to tighten without fighting to get your fingers under the shifter to get at the 3rd screw.
Just a much nicer piece with more attention paid to the small details.

i got the upgraded cable clamps. Its not so much that 5th is hard to go into gear, its that the shifter doesn't have a travel stop to the right like the factory shifter had. So if i shift slow, i seem to go to the right too far because there's nothing stopping me from going that direction. It goes into gear just fine.
