As Sontbp mentioned, it is a mechanical feel. I had described it as notchy in one of my posts. That may be the wrong way to describe it. It clicks into gear with no effort unlike some of the short shifters on the market that take force to get them to engage. That's why some people use a weighted shift knob on their short shifters. I would call the Coolerworx shifter a race shifter that works great for street use also.

If you want a shifter that has the stock feel then this shifter isn't for you. If you want a shifter that gives a super short throw and positive engagement shifts then the Coolerworx is no doubt the best on the market.

So notchy to me has more to do with being difficult to get into gear. I don't have those problems with the shifter that I had with other short shifters. I would say it does have a very mechanical feel, that can sometimes be confused with notchy though. Check out the video below if you haven't seen it.

Start at 1:57 to miss me awkwardly explaining new features on the website.

Agreed! I explained in my short review of it as being notchy and mechanical. The shifter provides a lot of feel and feedback. I really like the resistance of mechanical feel with each throw regardless of up or down shifts. If you miss a gear during a shift...well that would be user error in a major way. If you track (drag or circuit) you definitely want one of these bad boys!
