Paddles ftw. I would love that simply for the fact that it would mean I would be driving an Italian or Malaysian work of art, but I would really prefer to bang a shifter through it's gates. Speaking of shifting, what do you think about Hurst short shift kits ? I'm tempted to get one for the Jeep...boat rowing isn't my hobby. Do they have any parts that can wear fast ? I don't know about the Jeep kits. All I know about is Mustang kits. My dad is old school and uses only Hurst shifters. All his Mustangs have Hurst shifters. I've never had any issues with them and they improve the notchiness of a stock shifter, but there are other shifters for Mustangs I would choose first. i've got a Hurst in my Camaro and no complaints with it. SLP stuck them in their cars for most of the 4th gen F-body offerings
