If so, why?

If not, why not?

If yes, what does it do for you, other than peace of mind?

Thanks!

I have the ShiftLink on my in-car B&M shifter.

Why do I like it? It provides for a more solid shift feel. The OEM connector has a rubber bushing set in a rubber housing. The ball end of the shifter is held by this bushing and since it's rubber it can be torqued around with the shifter, giving a soft/loose feel. The ShiftLink has a hard plastic bushing housed in aluminum. There is no "give" at all, and this means a more soild feel all around, with very solid stops at the end of each shift.

Thanks TP. I saw that write-up as well - and a previous well-documented install. Leaning toward just the B&M short shift at this point. Appreciate the post!

EVO Shiftlink

Eric,

I installed the EVO Shiftlink as well and I really love the crispness of the shifts! Nice and tight ... exactly the way it should be directly from the factory.

I read the previous posts as well and was leaning towards NOT installing the shiftlink initially but after installing it (and seeing the difference between the stock piece and the EVO), I am very glad I did.

But in the end, it's up to you. I know you'll really enjoy it. I feel like I have a new car. Driving it through the mountains in Tennessee recently was more fun than I can adequately describe!
