New T5 short shifter.. Which One???

[drummerboy5.0]

Hey Guys,

I am looking to buy a new short shifter for my 1990 stang and I'd just like some input on which one would be the right choice.. Pro 5.0, BBK, B&M Ripper or The MGW.

I have heard that the Steeda and Hurst shifters are crap.
and although many people swear by the MTW, I live in British Columbia and getting one here would most likely be costly and take a hell of a long time.

I want to use the stock boot, and I want the least slop and vibration.
Doesn't matter if theres a small neutral gate or if it has a stiff feel.

If anyone could give feedback on thier shifters it would help me out in picking the best one
Thanks // Eric

I love my Pro 5.0. Nice, tight throws, no slop at all. I recommend getting the deluxe handle though.

MGW is above all of them. I've had Pro 5.0, Triax, BBK, and Hurst. None come close to MGWs.

I have a BBK, it sucks. Springs went soft after about a year, and I had to improvise new, stiffer ones, because I kept missing 3rd (didn't want to center itself when speed shifting). Still, I'm not convinced it is the best shifter I could have bought. I'd say MGW or Pro-5.0 are your best bets.

I have the Steeda Tri-ax and I love it

Don't believe everything you hear.

i love my pro 5.0. i've had one in every mustang i've owned. like mentioned above though, the handle that comes with it is only so-so. i have a Kona stick on mine, pretty much the tri-ax handle, only a little shorter and made of steel instead of aluminum. tri-ax's aren't junk either, btw.

 

[parchisi]

I love my MGW's, have them in both my mustangs.

 

[SteedaGT9150]

Tri-Ax.

 

[strtrcr50]

Another vote for mgw here.

 

[Boostedpimp]

I've had two pro5.0's, one triax and one hurst gold.. all three of them worked great.. bbk stuff is junk

 

[justagt]

MGW

/thread.

 

[myslo50]

i have the steeda tri-ax......love it

 

[LiquidGT]

I have the Tri-Ax and I love it, but if I were to do it over again I would go for a MGW.

 

[Beasty306GT]

I got the pro 5.0 nothing beats it....i recommend you get one too

 

[Sicarius428]

MGW

I have had pro5.0 in both my old 89 and my current 95...I will be going with mgw in the 07 as i've read many great things about it. On the other hand I have no complains about the pro5.0
