      I have the SST STX shifter, I'm on my 3rd one with leak issues. Looking for an alternative. the Bowler Night Stick Shifter seems a better product, has anyone put some mileage on one to verify it doesn't leak?

      Where are folks experiencing leakage? At the shifter stub or at the base plate?

      I would love to see a comparison review of the feel/throw, features and tear-down of all these. I hate a sloppy feeling shifter. Here is the info I've gathered from this thread and what's posted online.

      Tremec shifter as shipped
      Nylon bushings
      Standard throw
      No offset for shifter stub

      Silversport STX - List $299
      Throw 23% shorter than stock front to back and 39% shorter from side to side
      Belleville spring shims to remove backlash
      Bronze bushings instead of nylon
      Application-specific shifter offsets available
      Source

      Hurst Blackjack - List $239 w/o dogbone OR $447 w/ dogbone, stick, and ball
      Delrin pivot ball
      Application-specific shifter offsets available
      Unspecified short throw

      American Powertrain White Lightning - List $374
      Dogbone can rotate to multiple positions allowing myriad of shifter positions
      Unique independent adjustable spring bias via screw adjustment
      Unspecified "short throw"


      Bowler Nightstick - List $389 without offset or $431 w/ application specific offset
      Dogbone can rotate to multiple positions allowing myriad of shifter positions
      Wavering with snap-ring retention to keep constant pressure on the ball socket enclosure eliminating the ability for fluid to leak up past the shift stub
      Composite ball shift stub
      Throw???

      I have the SST STX shifter on my Magnum. While it feels absolutely fantastic, I wish I would have gone with the Bowler for its composite ball because my STX rattles like a mofo at higher RPM under load.

      Next time I have my trans out, I'll be installing one for sure.

      That's good to know. You think that's coming from the ball that goes into the shift mechanism? Based on what I've heard of Silvesport, it might be worth a call to see if they can do anything for you.
