I honestly think my che k member with tq limiters was a better upgrade then my shifter was.
the MGW has it as well and is more precise than the Tri-Ax IMO

I love my Pro 5.0 mind telling me how the brace effects your shifting?

when you go WOT, the engine and
transmission torque clockwise (as
viewed from inside the car), this
causes a change in the shifter
linkage angle.

torque limiters limit the amount of
torqing, that the engine/transmission
can experience.

Makes sense enough, does this have any adverse effects to handling?

it will stop the engine and tranny from twisting due to torque at high rpm

What's the best for the price on the market right now? Not worried about NVH.

Found the CHE set-up at the site below for $149 shipped which includes both the k-member and torque limiters.
