I have the B&M Hammer shifter in the nomad, and really hate it. I'm thinking it had the Star shifter in it before. I changed the Star for the hammer because the hammer was rated for the 700R4, which previous owner installed. The Star couldn't shift into first(L-2?)
Anyway... It worked well enough otherwise. My question would be: what's the problem with using the Star for a 700R-4?
