[QUOTE="dubselector, post: 627355, member: 17361"] Sparky is right, unless you have good bushes and coupler you will still get the "umbrella in a bucket of porridge" feel even if you have the best shifter on the market. Unfortunately you do have to pull the engine and lower the gearbox down to pull the rear shift rod out to access the "shuttlecock" type bushes- but it's well worth it. I have a Gene Berg shifter on my 71 now and would certainly recommend it. It's not cheap but it works super well and adjustment is easy if you follow their instructions. I would steer clear of the Empi one as it's what I had before and makes it difficult to select first gear with the handbrake fully pulled out. [/QUOTE]
