I have a "base" SS and yes, the 1LE is supposed to have a factory short shifter (6% reduction in throw- but who knows how they measure these changes... "there's lies, damn lies, and then there's statistics!"). But compared to the stock shifter in my car, this one feels much more heavy duty with no floppy shifter issues at all, IMHO.

I've got no experience with the t56/MGW brands to compare it to, but I've got no complaint with the 6th Gen Hurst manual.
