How many of you still have the STOCK Shifter?

[SilvrSRT10]

More info and pics PLEASE

It's really not worth the trouble. It helps for everyday driving but I got on it this evening trying to show my nephew what it would do and I was missing third. So it's not a "cure all". If you get aggressive at all with the stock shifter, third can be a problem. I missed fourth once too. Ugh! I've read that some are removing the isolator all together and just bolting it directly.

Here are the pics anyhow.

Thanks.I like to gather all the info that I can and see what works.

I have boomers gen 1 shifter I think. I have not missed third since. Not even once. I used to miss third all the time with the stock shifter.

I'm still running the stock shifter but with some minor modification. I tightened up the rubber isolator by making some spacers (1/8th inch). It removed most of the sloppiness and helped hit third more consistently. I may still someday go with an aftermarket. Changing the fluid helps too.

Ditto, but I added 1/16" spacers to the outside of the rubber u-shaped insert between it and the shifter link...making it 'grab' the shift lever much tighter.

I still have the stock 6-speed MANUAL.
I only miss 3rd when it's really important not to miss 3rd.

I'm thinking about whoring my truck and putting the stock shifter away for awhile

I still have the stock shifter in mine. I did modify it to eliminate the rubber isolator which helped out a bunch.

The only reason I have not gone to Boomers shifter is because I like the looks of the stock shifter. If Boomer ever comes out with a kit that replaces the lower portion of the shifter and allows you to use the stock arm I will be all over it like a bunch of bananas.

x metal gen 1 here. Stocker just would not downshift properly. Missed third too many times under WOT. Boomers has taken care of those issues. I can confidently downshift from 6th through all the gears and really know which gear I am gonna hit.
