Default T-5 Remote Shifter ?

I'm toying with the idea of using a remote shifter for my T-5. Anyone out their in the pasture ever had any experience with
one of these? Would you recommend it or not? The center console I am building will hide all the linkage so only the vertical
shifter will be seen and will stick up through the console through a leather boot just like any normal shifter would.
Thanks,

Andy

Those Mustang Plus deals always looked kind of hokey to me... Never used one tho.

Yeah, I agree. But since the horizontal bar linkage would be hidden by the console I thought it would be cool to have the shifter so much closer. My worry is just how good the shift response would be. Especially going toward the right into 3rd, 5th, and Reverse.

I've been into the store and played with their demo mounted onto a wood plate. It's all CNC'd and anodized aluminum, pretty snazzy looking piece. They use it in one (if not both) of their Grabber Green race cars.Unfortunately I didn't get to play with the one actually connected in the car, but the demo unit seems fine. I'm definitely considering it for my future T5 conversion.
