I have a Pro 5.0 and I love it. Clean, short throw. Perfect shift every time...except this one time on the freeway when both of the retaining screws backed out of the shift handle. I tried to do a 4-3 downshift (playing around) and the shifter handle bounced off my radio. Thought I blew up the tranny or something at first. Finally realized what happened and laughed about it...tell you what though. Shifting your car with the nub of metal at the base of the shifter IS NOT FUN.

I have a MGW but haven't installed it yet but I know the quality is A-1. I have tried one in a friends car and I fell in love I wanted to buy his car because of the way it shifted then he told me it had a MGW so I ordered one up.

The Steeda Tri-Ax I installed is much better than the Hurst that was on the car when I bought it.
