I have run it at the track hard (8 passes or so) and drive it everyday. Very fun shifter, not too short, and very solid.
I have used it for over 1 year, no complaints, just be careful on a cold weather 1 to 2 shift, keep it to the left firmly. I have buzzed a few times, but it is the heavy duty springs which help center the thing out very easily.
i cut 1 1/4" off the top, 1" off the bottom of my pro 5.0 shifter. Then I redrilled the holes so that 2nd gear is almost straight up. Ive done this mod for a few of my friends and I havent seen a shifter with a shorter throw yet.
this first pic is the shifter in 1st.
this pic is the shifter in 2nd
This mod only works on the fox style console. The 94 & up consoles wrap to close to the shifter after the mods are done.
