Default Dual Bend or Straight Short Throw?

I've searched and couldnt find anything, whats the difference in them? Is one better or prefered over the over? I'm looking to buy a new B&M short throw and was wondering before I buy one. My shifter has alot of play in it would this also take care of it or it something else? Sorry if its a stupid question or I missed it somewhere, thanks in advance!

Single bend puts the **** closer to you, but at an angle.

Duel bend puts the **** upright and almost oem position.

Personal preference really

Thanks, I kinda figured it was preference. Wasnt sure if the bend played a role in the throw distance or not. What about the play I have? Is it in the shifter or the linkage somewhere?

I would suggest checking the bushings for play.

I prefer the dual bend. The play your feeling might be worn bushings. Replace them with an Energy Suspension kit and you'll love the way it feels. They E/S kit isn't very expensive either.
