Bred thanks for sharing, I haven’t noticed any problems developing with mine but I’ll be looking at it closely after reading your post!
So, the Quarter Pro you can pull up on the reverse lockout without taking your hand off the top of the shifter and the Quarter Stick you gotta take your hand off the top of the shifter to reach the reverse lockout, then get your hand back on the top of the shifter, to put it in reverse? I can see where one movement would be an added luxury bonus with a Quarter Pro. Looks like nice shifter. I know of a car that could use a Quarter Pro. I'll pass this info on. |

Correct. And that also means looking at the shifter to find the lockout instead of it just being able to feel it with your fingers. |

I have a friend at a local track here that has one to sell me for $100.00
Nope, I'd invest in the Quarter Pro shift lever from TSR. It'll fit snug through the rooster inside the transmission. Everything they sell is hardcore race ready Made in USA. The Quarter Pro shifter has its own proprietary shift lever, unknowingly you definitely don't wanna put a three or four hole wing wong ching chong chinese garbage loose fitting multi-use shift lever with it. |

Nothing worthwhile is easy. Although switching out a shift lever is, relatively speaking. |

I'm looking at this Quarter Pro shift lever. There's a few indicator's which tells it is proprietary. 1. The Quarter Pro doesn't come with a multi purpose shift lever. 2. TSR lists this (pictured) lever specific the Quarter Pro shifter. 3. I've never seen a multi purpose shift lever with a hole as spread from the pivot, as the image included, which also indicates it's ease of operation (ratio). 4. The best shifter all times comes with a proprietary shift lever, Quarter Stick. Ya'll can do it however you please. I'd jam this shift lever in the transmission and call it perfect, in about 15 minutes. If it were mine. |

The slim design is what I need and have a good deal on a used one. Only issue was that it seemed easy to drop down into low from high gear.
I have used one for years with no issues. Works great. I have the older spring loaded solenoid model. The only issue I have seen with these is improper adjustment of the solenoid (not close enough to the shifter) will cause it not to shift the trans into high enough though the shifter activates to shift. |
