I had considered the Fabcar years ago.
The Fabcar (Hargett too?) shifter does not have the second spring that pushes the lever away from the 1/2 neutral slot and keeps it in the 3/4 neutral slot. Similar to the factory shifter with the spring that pushes the lever from the 5/R slot to the 3/4 slot.
The added 1st/2nd spring feature on the Wevo was the main reason I choose to upgrade from the stock shifter.
The Wevo short throw shifter with Wevo's extra long lever on my race/street car places the shift knob at the same level as Fabcar or Hargett.
The Wevo is a bolt in.
These other kits require you to remove the shift rod. The E-brake deleted and the shift coupler inspection panel would be permanently modified or removed for the shift rod to reenter the tunnel. Also it appears some custom hardware would be required to attach their custom shifter tower to the tunnel. Perhaps some consideration to seat width may be a necessary with Hargett's larger/wider shifter tower.
