it doesnt matter what motor or tranny you have. i personaly hate the dual bend ones they feel weird. other then that there all pretty much the same feel. however skunk2 and i think b&m are the ones made out of steel. cause if you slam your shifter hard you dont want an aluminum one it will break. i had a skunk2 and i liked it but its pricey.

Well you shouldn't be driving your stock D series engine like fast and the furious .

Only then does it break.

I'd say no, others say differently.

A shifter is a shifter is a shifter. People like Skunk2 or the works because they're name brand and they last. But if you aren't throwing shifts like fast and the furious it shouldn't be a problem with it breaking.

Some people are completely content with ebay shifters - others say they absolutely suck under any and all conditions.
