I've had mine in my car over 14 years now, never a missed shift or any problems at all. Best shifter on the planet.

I've had mine for about a year and now my car is wrecked due to the cheap reverse lockout. My 6 year old can get it in to reverse. I always thought the reverse lockout was supposed to be a 2 handed operation similar to the hurst shifters or 2 movements like the precision shifters.

After putting my car in to the wall at 130 mph and upon further investigation, it appears that the slot on my reverse lockout is not drilled long enough therefore with the slightest touch to the t-handle while pushing the shifter in to neutral you can put it in reverse or park if desired. (nice huh)

So the moral of the story is.............check a look at yours before your next pass down the track....or you could be sitting like me.
