shifter question

I know a common shifter is the B&M Megashifter for the auto's, but does anyone have a B&M Hammershifter installed? The Hammershifter looks better IMO, anyone have pics?

Thanks, Ted

Because I like the no chrome look on the hammershifter around the shift indicator and I also like the shift boot better on the hammershifter.

ive never seen one in a 3rd gen before, but i know that if i ever again own a 3rd gen (what am i saying of course i will again own one) i will go for the hammer shifter this time. i hope it works out better for me than the megashifter did

What did you find wrong with the megashifter?

it was hard to move the shifter from park reverse neutral drive. and hit the console on downshifts. the bolts for the rear mount were hard to put in and tighten. the shift **** wouldnt stay tight and the threads striped after 3 weeks. i couldnt ever get the shift indicator in the right spot and the light isnt bright enough at night to light it up. im one of the few that have had problems though. alot of people like their and have had no problems
