T-5 Shifter

Yankee fan · Jan 28, 2018

looking for some advice for a T-5 short throw shifter choice. Doing the swap Pro 5.0, B&M ?

I have a pro50 shifter in my car. I have no complaints about the shifter itself, but I had a bad customer service experience when I emailed them about buying a replacement handle. Their reply was "look on eBay".

Always heard the Pro5 base with Steeda handle was the cat's meow.
I like my Hurst Billet with long handle, but admit to never trying anything else.

Seems a lot of hype around the MGW (something like that).
If I were to try any other shifter, it would be the Pro5 with either the Steeda handle or Hurst long handle.
I don't like the stubby little handles... gotta reach for them, and not enough leverage.

Pro50 with a short hurst extension and stock handle, 55k and no complaints, I too have not used anything else so of no use,

Pro 5.0 on foxes have always been my favorite. Have had MGW as well but not on Foxes. They're excellent pieces but I'd want to try one first on fox body.

loved my pro5.0 even though i broke the handle

Reddevil91 · Jan 29, 2018

Got the Pro 5.0 on mine and love it. Maybe I’ll have to look into that Steeda handle if mine ever goes bad.

Pro 5.0 with Hurst long handle here. Love it.

I had a tri-ax, and traded it for an MGW from a member here. I've had MGW in two mustangs on a t-5 and t-3650 and love that shifter

Reddevil91 · Jan 29, 2018

Is this a MGW? Never heard of that brand but just saw it for sale on Craig’s. Seems like it’s siting further back that the pro 5.0

Mustang5L5 · Jan 29, 2018

Yup. That's a first gen MGW setup.

Everyone raves about the MGW shifter. It looks like a great design, but I personally have never used one. I have always used an old school B&M Ripper shifter. The Pro 5.0 is the tried and true shifter. That being said, it is better for those that are tall and skinny, as the handle sticks straight up from the mount. If you are short and fat like I am, the B&M, MGW, Tri-Ax does curve farther back to give you a little more shifting ease.

Got it Bc when I saw that mgw I posted I felt like that would make shifting for me harder, as I’m on the taller side and would jam myself in the ribs especially hitting second

I have a Tri-Ax and its been fine.

If you can hit yourself in the ribs with a shifter handle, something broke!

Steel1 · Jan 30, 2018

I've been using a Steeda Tri-Axe for years and like it, but never really compared it to others.

srtthis · Jan 30, 2018

MGW makes a few different handles that come back differently

Mustang5L5 · Jan 30, 2018

I'm 6'1" and i never had an issue with shifter being too close or far. There's a few options on handles with the MGW to adapt to your needs.

So tempted to try that combo.

I might have exaggerated that a bit just Bc it seems different how it’s angled further back than up.
