What aftermarket shifter do you run in your car? Do you like it?
What are your thoughts? Do you like the way it feels and shifts?

I've had two pro50s...one on my T5 and now one on my Tremec. The feel is great, but the handle is a little short for most people. I've heard of a lot of guys getting the pro50 with a Tri-ax and being real happy with them. I've also heard that the MGW shifter is real nice.

Just installed the MGW a few weeks ago... very nice. It has a solid design and no transmission noise.

Pro 5.0

Way better than stock and a solid feel. Couldn't be happier. No noise.

I had the tri-ax, and I'm going to buy it again, so there's my opinion.

I have a steeda tri-ax and being completely honest I would get a pro50 over it any day. My 2 friends with foxbodys, 1 has a pro50 the other has a hurst shifter. We lined all 3 cars up and I did a test. The pro50 just feels so good. It almost feels like the shifts are spring loaded and it just glides in. Granted all the shifters probably make a little noise, to give you an idea I think the steeda makes more noise and just feels too sluggish for my taste. +1 for pro50

I have driven both Pro 5.0 and Tri-Ax equipped cars. It really doesn't matter, IMO, which one you get. Both improve shifting tremendously. Currently, I'm runing a Tri-Ax and I've NEVER missied a gear yet. It's almost like half the shifting is done for you (with the grooves being notched out). 2nd to 3rd is awesome with it.


Next time around I will try the MGW. I've heard too many good things about it not to.

I like my MGW. It's rock solid, short throw, and silent (maybe more quiet than stock).

ive driven a stock and pro 5.0 shifter on a fox. i like the pro 5.0 a lot, but have nothing to compare it to. the only downside to the pro 5.0 is that it is a little tough to reach overdrive, but its not a big deal for me and im only 5'10". im doing the t-5 swap in my 94 in about a week and im getting the pro 5.0 used for real cheap, but when i get some cash to burn... im def gonna try the MGW, im obsessed with what ive heard about it.
