    i've got a b&m megashifter. i've never had a problem, but i've had others say they don't like them. go somewhere, if you can,:) and try them both. see what feels better to you if you can.

    I had a v matic 2, liked it a lot. A little complicated at first, but easily figured out, kind of a pain to adjust also. Ratchets forward and reverse, as does the megashifter I believe. I run a B&M starshifter cuz it was cheap and I don't need a reverse pattern shifter. I love it.

    I kinda like the stock maverick/comet/pinto/mustang shifters myself.But if you like messing with cables & stuff the B&M quarterstick is a good one.
