Anyone running a hard linkage floor shifter?

[corn]

Im in the process of installing a floor shifter into my truck. So far Ive cut the floor & welded the tunnel up to resemble an older car style manual hump. I was going to mount the shifter on the floor but a friend warned me that the hard linkage style shifters will pop out of gear if you hit a bump or anything. I can build a bracket/mount to bolt it directly to the trans so it moves with the tranny but it would be a lot more work. On the upside, it would move with the engine & look even more like a straight stick. Any opinions or experience with these shifters? Oh, its a Mr Gasket floor conversion shifter that I made a different lever for.
