I had the B&M hammer in my chevelle, it has a short throw and you really have to "hammer" it. For the strip I think you'd like it. Previous to the hammer, it had the B&M star shifter. The star has a much longer throw, and takes very little force to operate.

I seem to recall that each of those has a dual action mode: you can engage the ratchet action, or a more common detent advance mode.
