Default Getting a new shifter

Well, I've had my Hurst shifter for a couple of months now, and honestly it is wearing me out. It's just too stiff going over to fifth gear and when I need to use reverse. I even took out the bias springs, which did help some, but increased the sloppiness in the feel. So I've been reading about this new shifter on CF and decided to give it a try:

I guess I have to admit here that I have a neck injury that affects the strength in my arms, so although this may not be an issue for some people, it is something that is bothering me. Just didn't want you all to think that I am suffering from an extreme case of "wimplash"........

I've only had stock or B&M shifters in my vettes. I really like B&M, no springs. The throws a bit shorter (a plus) but no additional tension on the shifter, and none of the sloppy feel of the factory shifter.
