The BF bracket makes the shifter feel more solid, predictable and the Whiteline helps with shifting a little, but they don't eliminate the thud or all of the notchiness. I just installed the Steeda bushings a couple of weeks ago and it helps with the thud. It is still there slightly, but better than before and best of all the Steeda inserts firm up the handling and makes the rear suspension more in tune with the front IMO.
If I had things to do over I would be compelled to look at the trans mounted Barton shifter as an option, and no regrets with the Steeda IRS bushing inserts.

Meh take it or leave it, from factory pretty notchy and clunky. I'm sure aftermarket shifter will clean it up a bit. On my list to do after irs bushings. Seems to take a good bit of torque upgrades well if not power shifted like an idiot.

I love mine! I'm not as savy and don't pay as much attention to shifters and transmissions as most people. Unless something stands out and is obvious that is. The only thing that stands out to me is the difficulty in feeling the engagement/disengagement of the clutch. I'm trying to get used to it. Other than that I think it is perfect.

I'm right there with you Jay-rod427, exhaust, shifter, bushings for me on the list, in that order.

Yesterday I took the spring out to see how it felt without it. After driving a mile up the road and then back I decided the stock spring is good enough. I won't tamper with it anymore. I was gonna get the Steeda spring but I changed my mind.
