Shifts were short, but throws were notchy as hell. Required effort that negated the short throws. I replaced it with an MGW and have never looked back. By far the smoothest shifter I've ever felt on any generation mustang. The Steeda and Barton are both quality pieces that I've driven on seperate cars and I don't think you could go wrong with either of them, but the MGW is more than hype. I'm not a brand loyalist. My car is a hodgepodge of aftermarket parts brands that each do their job best for what I'm trying to achieve. In the case of the shifter, the MGW was hands-down the best I tried.
