Most people hate it. It's very notchy. Shifts are like click, click. I've gotten used to it over the years but I wasn't very fond of it initially but have grown to love it. However if you plan to drag race your car and shift hard it's not the shifter for you. It likes to be clicked smoothly into place. The throw is incredibly short though. Shorter than any other short shifter I've felt. I've considered many times selling it and going back to a Woody like I had in my other Z but since I don't drag race or do any hard shifting I actually like it. It's very nice for hitting the mountain twisties.
