Message	I purchased the old style Z1 short throw shifter (Stillen knock-off, essentially) and have never been satisfied with it. It's SUPER notchy and very hard to get into gear quickly and cleanly. I even installed some SPL bronze bushings...still crappy feel. I was looking at Z1's new style shifter, and it appears to be a C's style (I tried to purchase a C's shifter from MVP motorsports, but it has been discontinued). Has anyone heard any good reviews on this product? Searching didn't seem to yield any recent posts regarding this specific shifter. Also, could something else be the culprit for my crappy shifter feel, or should I try another shifter? Thanks in advance! Here is a pic of the one I am referring to: La-Z-Link More Pics
