hurst dual gate vs quarter stick

well it seems the general concensus is that the mega shifter is junk. well then the other two option for us that wanna keep our counsels is the hurst dual gate or quarter stick. Is the dual gate a rachet shift or a positive lock out?? which is easier to install. do they both require the constant adjustmant that plaugues the megashifter. any input is helpful. also any one with pictures ?? i have a aftermarket deck that is flushmounted. will that cause a problem?? thankx

Buy the Quarter Stick! The Dual Gate just did'nt seem as rugged as the Q-Stick. I installed mine several years back and have had zero problems, never even had to re-adjust the cable.

I'd also like to know of the other options. I know the megashifter is popular but I tried it out in NJspeeders car and it seemed really stiff. You had to muscle *** it and everything was loose. I'd like something a little more stable like the OEM unit. I like the quarter stick, does anybody have any pictures of the console unit installed?

there is no better shifter than a quarter stick and you can't miss a shift with one
