Q: Will this cable length included work for my car?
A: The 72" (6 foot) cable provided was purposely chosen as it is long enough for shifters to mount in any typical spot while being able to go forward and loop around the back of the transmission to connect to the shifter linkage.
Q: Can I use this shifter without CO2?
A: Yes many use these shifters without CO2, because it is a gated shifter you can push it into the next gear and manually or co2 assisted. Additionally, our CO2 assist is easy to add at any time and costs the same whether you add it now or in the future.
Q: Is this for drag race only?
A: No many customers use this shifter in a variety of formats.
Q: How does this differ from a "ratchet" type shifter?
A: A gated shifter means that the gates are selected by the user whereas a ratchet shifter you push it once to advance to the next gear. With a gated shifter you need to push the shifter hard enough to catch the next gear when going from low gear up, but this allows you to have a positive stop and know where your shifter is at. Additionally this allows you to add air assist in the future whereas a ratchet shifter does not have that option.
Q: Will this work with a console in my vehicle?
A: Many of our customers will custom modify their console to make this fit for a more "factory" appearing look. For vehicles with manual style consoles this is often even easier to accomplish. See our factory bolt in mounts for many late model applications: Click Here

I gotta say these shifters are most complete shifters out there. Come with everything you need and so simple to setup. After 3 years of use in my race car. It was time to put one in my street car. Super happy once again.
Shipping was fast and had constant updates. Directions made for easy installation and adjustment. Really happy with the looks and finish very well made product.
I can’t wait to try it out at the track. My old shifter would miss shifts shift first or third. I’m sure this one’s gonna go just like it’s supposed to. I can’t wait to try it out at the track.
Very nice, works very well. Great quality! Solid dependable shifts every time. The shifter this one replaced was inferior to the motion raceworks shifter. Nice job!
The shifter looks and feels awesome. But I’m not happy with the way that it operates and obviously that is the most important thing. When shifting back from 1st to 2nd gear the shifter will go all the way back to 3rd gear straight from 1st. I feel each gear should be locked out and need to pull the handle to get into each gear so no short shifts occur
Best shifter I’ve ever used. I ran several of the other brands on different builds, and decided on the Operator for my MK4 Supra.
Smooth as butter, a breeze to install and easy to add attachments. I use the reverse light micro switch for my reverse light relay and I added compressed air shift assist (controlled through FuelTech).
Going from b@m pro sticks and hurst quarter sticks for the past 18 years it takes a few minutes to get used to but great shifter overall looks and use wise and made in America
I cannot wait to drive my car with this new shifter. The gate can be awkward at first but even just playing with it in the car it feels awesome. Super well built as expected
