I'm probably going to pick up a cheap-o ebay shifter. I just wanted to know what the difference between the OEM bend and the straight design was. How does one feel from the other?
I might even caught up the extra cash to get a B&M.

Any suggestions?

 

The oem is a dual bend shifter which brings the shifter closer to the driver, I wouldn't go with the single bend they do the same purpose but the dual bend has a better feel to it you will notice a drastic change in shifting about 30% shorter, also I would not go with a cheap ebay shifter cause if you slam it into gear hard sometimes you could actually snap the shifter and trust me you don't wanna do all that work to end up breaking it. Personally I like B&M but not a fan of using them, I would recommend getting a skunk2 Short shifter they are indestructable
