    anyone using the Stomski shifter?

    I've seen some good reviews of the WEVO shifter but less feedback on the Stomski shifter https://www.stomskiracing.com/produc...tealth-edition.

    anyone using it (ideally with a 901/911 trans) and have thoughts to share? thanks!

    I chuckle to myself every time I see their description. Hard for me to consider it "stealth" with that honking big rubber boot from '73-86 915-equipped cars.

    it *is* "stealth" compared to the carbon-titanium-diamond-and-alcantara-covered, super-exotic version that has its own luggage! :-) (and to be clear, I'm sure the exotic Paradigm shifter is really nice!)

    Installed one 10 months ago and it has been all as advertised. Shifting is smooth and precise and a huge improvement over the factory coupler where I needed Lewis and Clark going from 3rd to 4th on my 5 speed.

    Ditto to what Chuck said. Installed one 3-4 years ago. All good.

    Good information on the factory 901 shifter and the Wevo & Stromski Shift "Coupling" But I think he was asking about the complete shifters from both.

    Regards

    Considering this shifter for my 73S. Has anyone installed the Stomski complete shifter? Not the coupler, which I will also do. Trying to decide which brand to go with. Stomski vs Wevo.

    I did the Wevo classic on my '73 and have zero complaints. It's an amazing upgrade.

    I will add that I needed to pick up a later style shifter base as the late '72 build 915 base wasn't ideal w the roll pins and shims. The latter base has an adjustment set screw which allows you to dial out the slop without using a magical combination of shims.

    I bought this shifter, but my car is still under the knife so it will be a little while before I can provide feedback. first impression is that it feels like a solid, well-made part.
