being one who has used just about every factory automatic center console shifter out in existance from Ford, Chevy, Nissan, Honda, Mazda, Merc., Dodge....
I feel that the SHO shifter is actually pretty good. It looks nice, it doesn't look cheap as shit like a lot of console shifters do these days. It also feels good, it doesn't feel like its going to snap off or real lose when you move through the gears.
I one time had an experience where I couldn't get it out of park. 15 minutes later, had the console trim top off and used a pair of wire strippers/crimpers to disable the shift lock mechanism haha... Now it can move out of park without the brake on, and i think it even can move with the key out.... I hate shifters where you have to be on the brakes to move them anyhow. I have some common sense, its not a safety issue.
NOW, let me tell you about aftermarket shifters, especially B&M as I've installed and had to drive quite a few cars with them installed. Two words sum them up, they suck.
