    VE Auto Rip Shifter

    Just stumbled across this by accident. Is it legit lol. Make it super easy to negotiate the 3 inch back and forward motion that is the 6L80 sports mode.

    I like the look but the price is pretty steep for a what is essentially a gear knob.

    Although I agree that the shifter handle above looks ok, that sort of coin might be better invested here Ed.

    +1 for the paddle shifters. I got some fitted by Nathan at ALC in September last year. Best driveability mod I've done so far. Flicking through the gears with hands on the wheel is great and heaps of fun in the twisties!

    Getting this kit fitted next Saturday by SA Auto Installs. An expensive mod, but I reckon it will be worth it.

    Re: VE Auto Rip Shifter

    Got them fitted this morning and another great mod that is very well worth while. Like QIKMIK and Wonky have said, well worth the expense. They look great as well, and the kit really looks like it was there from the factory. Big thumbs up for Corey at SA Auto Installs as well, very professional and did a fantastic job of the installation.

    Thanks Mick, picked them up second hand a few years back and have never seen anything I liked better since (except maybe some Simmons). Luckily for me the Simmons wont fit over the Brembo's, so no decision to make
