I just bought an 86 GT. It has a 5.0 and tranny out of a 94 Highway Patrol car. The shifter in it does not like to go into 3rd. I am looking to get a new one but have no clue what I should be looking for. Is the Steeda shifter any good? Or should I go with a B&M? I have only had AODs in the past so this is all new to me.

Thanks, I like the Steeda's look over the B&M.

Pro 5.0 is the only way to go.

It may not be the shifter that is your problem getting in to third...

I have drove the pro 5.0, tri-ax, mgw, b&m...

Pro 5.0 is my choice, I like the "straight" design...and I seemed to shift quicker with the straighter design. No angles to worry about, just put it in
