Well I bought the Gennie because I did not want the push button at all regardless of the knob. I'm still in the assembly stage so I don't know how the detent wears. So far the Gennie seems to be a high quality item but there are little things to mention. The hand brake mount is farther to the right than I would like and the only thing that holds the unit to the trans is a round plug that fits into a dimple-hole on the side of the trans. Now that I have the Gennie knob it does not thread out at the right space, but I guess I will try to put a small amount of something into the hole to make it tighten at just the right place. The single rod to the trans shift lever on the side of the trans is pretty flimsy and I wonder if it will take abuse if I decide to manually shift from low to second by holding it in low longer and then shifting to second. I am guessing that that little rod which looks less than 1/8" diameter won't take much abuse and it will be better for me to adjust the shift point for low gear than to frequently use a manual hold in low and then stab at second. Anyway I like the looks and feel of the Gennie and if the hand brake were more to the left I would rave about it. As it is I will live with it and make it work.
