Default Wevo + G50 = Better Shifting?

Apologies for another Wevo post. I've searched and I see lots of posts from folks with 915s that love their Wevos. What about G50s? Is it worth the conversion?

Same basic benefit; the shifter feels like a rifle bolt.

JMHO, but I think its worth it.

Yes...just like a rifle bolt chambering a round.

That is exaclty how I would describe the feel and quality. I think I described it that way on Pelican too. It's probably the best upgrade that you will do to the driver controls, and I'm including the sport seats, adj gas pedal, and 930s steering wheel in that group.

Thanks, fellas. Wheres a good place to purchase one from? Do I just need the shifter kit or is there something else I should purchase too? Trying to get it ordered as I'm putting the car in the shop soon. THANKS!

Also, which version of the shifter do you like? The one that retains the stock look, the regular, or the race?

I'll tell you what, when it comes back, if you still are not sure, then I'll mail you my Wevo Billet shifter with the shorter black **** to try it out first. I bought a spare shifter housing, so it's completely bolt in. Then when you decide, you can take it out and mail it back to me. You can decide if it's what you want.
