Default What shifter ***** are you using?

Just trying to get info on a good shifter **** for a T-5 trans.I have had many and keep destroying them.I have had a Hurst T handle and ripped all the threads out.I've also had a MOMO that I split the cherry wood,leather,and carbonfiber into 2 peices.Im trying to find one that will hold up good to alot of abuse.

Any suggestions Appreciated.
Thanks

I haven't had a problem with my stock shifter ****. But there is a guy around town here that makes custom shifters so I was going to get a billitt aluminum shifter that fits my hand. Something like that would probably always be an option.

i like the pistol grip but they are so expensive, where can u get one cheap? I think they are like $40-60 IN SUMMIT, thats a lot for a shifter handle
