    Has anybody on this forum had experience with the Barton shifter kit on their challenger? I'm going to purchase the Barton or the Hurst today. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks SRT-Tom. I've watched this video a few times but the 2015 interior is different than the previous years. I was hoping somebody on here has acutally installed it and could give me a comparison of Barton vs Stock. I went ahead and ordered it and I'll put together a video and photos of the installation. Hopefully i'm not the only guy on here with a 2015 asking these questions....

    Thanks SRT-Tom, those are the same instructions that Dave from Barton emailed me for my install. Installation was a breeze! The hardest part was the right side pin that holds the shifter legs. So far i really like it and i love the positive feel of shifting now. I also read that noise was an issue but i haven't really noticed anything noisy about it yet. I took photos along the way so I could share my tips and tricks if anybody else wanted to do this installation. I compared it to my friends 2012 challenger SRT Hurst shifter and the barton far exceeds the Hurst.

    I did the install myself, it was pretty easy reading through those installation instructions before i started the installation.
