Just installed the Pro 5.0. Is there anything else I need to know? Can't wait for the rear seat delete.

How do you like it. It's pretty notchy at first but once it breaks in it will be pretty smooth. It's a definite improvement over the stock stick. Some people don't like the short handle but it suits me fine because I have long arms.

I put in a Blu Thunder before Christmas and love running throught the gears now. It's effortless and quick.

How do you like that UPR. I love the design of the stick, but always wondered how it stands up to the Tri-ax

I haven't been to the track to put consistant hard shifts into it but just driving it on the freeway I still hit it pretty hard and have no complaints yet. Even though it's made of aluminium, it's billet and thick as hell. So I see no problems. I just wish someone made a shifter boot that was shorter so you could see the handle. Looks sweet with the holes cut out.

make sure to use some thread locker on the two handle screws, its not fun when they back out while you are driving down the road.

The Blu Thunder shifter comes complete with adjustable handle. You can go tall or short.

So does the blue thunder feel like the tri-ax or pro5.0? I really like the handle design, but don't wan't to get an inferior product just because I like the handle.
