Re: Best shifter for metric 200
Precision shifters are very nice but, dollar for dollar you can't beat the Turbo Action Cheetah.....That cable is indestructible.....Paul Forte is a wonderful man ....

Re: Best shifter for metric 200
I have had my Precision shifter since the day I made a Super Stocker out of it. Always worked perfectly. Never had to touch it. Been using it since 2007? Maybe somebody could clue me in on the maintenance you have been doing? Sounds like I have been lax.
Thanks!

Re: Best shifter for metric 200
The only problem I ever had with the PPP was operator error. You have to adjust the cable with the shifter in second gear...if careless it is easy to move the shifter handle from it's optimal position by snagging the cable end under the car. I now double check the shifter every time when swapping/replacing the transmission.

Re: Best shifter for metric 200
90%Of the S/SS cars I work on in my shop either have the Cheetah shifter or are getting one installed .
I drove a DragPak Challenger I built with PPP shifter and had trouble with shifting right thru second gear . Operator problem , Yes . My big clumsy hand kept hitting the trigger ! .....But I've never had that problem with any Cheetah equipped car I drove.

Re: Best shifter for metric 200
I always check the cable adjustment when putting the eng & trans back in the car. Mine is shifted by air. So far it has been flawless.

Re: Best shifter for metric 200
Ed,it says precision performance products on it and it is black. I don't know what the hell happened to it. Because it works now. I do look things over on our car,and try to keep stuff replaced,serviced..etc.but a shifter failure 1st round at a natl event won't happen again. I'll look it over when I take it out to see what might have happened. We had a turbo action in a bracket car yrs ago, and I think that's what I'll go with.
