We've used the pro 5.0 short shifter several times. Works well, but remember that as you shorten the throw, the effort to shift necessarily goes up. I've seen several miss 2-3 because of that. These are not the best shifting trannys around.

I've got just over 110K miles on my T45 with a Steeda TriAx and like it just fine. Handle adjusts to two different heights, I personally like the taller position.

I'm waiting on a Hurst SST with chrome stick to come in right now, I like the look of the chrome stick better and just wanted to see how it compared to the Steeda.

Steeda tri-ax is too notchy IMO. I have it and hate it.

used to have steeda and now I have MGW. Mgw is the best shifter I have ever own.

Broken shift forks to boot...

I have the Tri-ax and it is OK but hear good things about the MGW shifter.

MGW. The most positive shift feel and shortest shifter i have ever felt on any car so far. I love it.

Kingcater · Sep 16, 2007

MGW hands down. Not only does it have the shortest throw. It's sturdy, smooth and you can rotate the handle 360 degrees. I had a Pro 5.0 and a Steeda before and out of the 2 I like the Pro 5.0 Better.

The Steeda was notchy, uncomfy and didn't feel sturdy. I have a T-45 and I love how the MGW feels, I've never missed the 2-3 shift and I can even chirp the tires doing so.

Old school Hurst, none of these new kids have figured it out any better.

LaserSVT · Sep 18, 2007

+1 for MGW, I had the Tri-Ax and hated it. Had the Pro 5.0 it was ok, hurst sucked. Thid MGW is a joy! It has stronger springs so finding third is a no brainer and the adjustable position puts the stick right in your hand.

Best shifter IMO

MGW did a pretty good job

i've tried the Tri-ax and my dad's '89 has a Hurst and i prefer my MGW

I don't get these responses. Isn't the opposite of notchy, sloppy? Isn't that what we're eliminating by getting rid of the stock shifter? Can someone explain notchy to me?

Pro 5.0 is my opinion. Ive tried the MGW, i liked it, but ive found that i shift alot better with the 5.0

HoustonGT · Sep 19, 2007

MGW is my favorite by far. Perfect length throws and very precise

I like it too. We use the heavy spring set rather than the light ones, so that hitting third is easy. Only problem is short throw = high effort, so you have to be sure and "shift it" else you "miss it"...

5spd GT · Sep 21, 2007

Used all except the MGW.

Pro5.0 is my vote, with the Tri-Ax right behind.

You can not go wrong with either.

Ive had the Pro 5.0 and the Triax and like the Pro 5.0 a little better. They are about the same though.
