I have the B&M Ripper short throw shifter! really good quality solid shifts and the springs in it make impossible to miss 3rd gear! www.fordmuscle.com/archives/2000/02/t5/

Steeda and hurst are my favorites. I think the hurst has a better feel.

I have the same shifter, and I've never had an issue. If I had to do it again, it would be a toss up between the B&M and MGW.

I have a Pro 5.0 as an upgrade from an old Hurst Competition Plus. The stock Pro 5.0 shift lever was too short for me so I swapped it out for a multi-fit lever from MGW. Great combo!

I have that exact combo in my notch - Pro 5.0 with a Tri-Axe handle. Previous owner installed it, and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

I just took a Pro 50 off my car to install a steeda. The Pro was really noodly and didn't like 3rd. After removal, it appears that maybe its just worn out; the centering spring doesn't seem to be there at all. I loved the tri-ax in my last car.

Well

The MGW has the best design I think, it's very solid and not as noisy as the Tri-ax I had in my 99 GT was either.

I've also driven a car with a B&M, not as good as the MGW IMO.

Never tried a pro 5....

Been running Steeda Tri-Ax's for over 5 years now. Best overall shifter IMO.
