They're actually great, I've been running one on my car for almost 2 years now. Search around, I know I've done a write-up and I know Scheides did as well.

FYI: Fidanza, B&M, etc. etc. etc. all sell the exact same shifter you can get on eBay for $29 shipped down to the identical box and sealed plastic wrap with "high performance" printed in purple cursive writing.
