Which T5 shifter to buy?

[Blown-88]

I'm having a little trouble deciding which after market shifter to go with . I just received my tremec 5 speed. Recomendations appreciated.

PRO 5.0...I had a hurst and the you cant go wrong with the pro 5.0

Thanks- I used to have a hurst with the stock t5 to and it was fine, but if there is one out there that is better as far as ease of powershifting goes, i'm a buyer.

I have had both...Tri-ax and Pro 5.0...go Pro 5.0...feels stronger and better feel to me

I had a Pro 5.0 in my car when I bought it and didn't like it... the handle at least, too short for me. I know short throw is good but I had to lean over to shift into 3rd. It also had a messed up spring and Pro 5.0 wouldn't send or sell me a replacement.

I switched to the UPR Blue Thunder shifter which is pretty much like the Steeda Tri-Ax, happy with it so far, really like how the handle is offset back toward you.

Personaly I'm a fan of the B&M ripper shifter! never had any problems with it and would go back to in in a second!!

I have the Tri-ax myself and like it; allthough I have never used the Pro5.0. I have heard good things about both.

another vote for pro50.

Thanks, it seems like a pretty close run between the pro 5.0 and the tri ax. I'm sure I can't go wrong with either one. I guess i'll have to flip a coin.

If you're deciding on either the Pro 5.0 or the Tri-Ax it really depends on whether you like a really short handle and short throw with ultra strength (forged steel) or a medium length handle with really short throw and good strength (billet aluminum)

pro 5.0 here. very solid

steeda tri-ax. Haven't used a pro50, but i have no need to. This one rocks!

Not necessarily. Pro5.0 makes forged steel factory length handles for people with stupid-short arms, and for the rest of us, just get the Pro5.0 from Kona. They sell it with a handle identicle to the Tri-Ax handle, only forged steel. I can personally vouch for this one, having had all three and cominations of each. It's also the best price for a Pro5.0 I know of. See for yourself: http://www.konaracing.com/
To further the case for the Pro5.0, here's an example of how well the Steeda peice holds up to abuse, and this was on a wimpy T5 not a Tremec:

drove a stang with a pro 5.0 wasnt bad at all pro 5.0 is what i am going with.

 

[super302]

I got a tri-ax, and i love it, there both good(from what i've heard)

 

[Carney Woods]

Pro 5.0 the best on the market IMO

 

[blk92stangg]

Pro 5.0 is the way to go.

 

[cjman15]

Steeda Tri-Ax! maybe just because I have one... but it's a great shifter... but i have heard not one bad thing about Pro 5.0... it's your decision!

 

[DirtyD916]

hurst looks the best but i think tri-ax or pro-5.0 is the way to go. SO many happy customers and good feedback on both- its a win win.

pro 5.0 with the MGW shifter handle
