what shifter should i get

[CrimsonCobra_01]

Either get a Pro 5.0 or a Steeda Tri-Ax. I have the Pro 5.0 with the Steeda Tri-Ax handle. I love it. You cannot go wrong with either one of them.

Dittos here - a Pro 5.0 with Tri-Ax handle (handles are cheap (>$30) and I just wanted to try it out, so my wife and I swapped)
IMO, the Pro-5.0 is more race car like, and the Tri-Ax a more beefy but still OEM like shifter. But are built similiarly, but the Pro-50 shifts are shorter, and albeit a bit notchier, they are more race car like. The Tri-Ax is more like the OEM design, but built very well. Neither has any dampening, so the feel for each is similiar. The handle of the Tri-Ax is aluminum, longer and twisted over toward the driver and back a bit like the OEM handle, the Tri-Ax is steel, short and straight.
If I had it to do over again, I would not have bought the Tri-Ax, but I would have waited and ordered another Pro-5.0...but it was cheap and immediately available, so we jumped at it.
Either one is high quality.

Anything is better than the stock shifter.

I have the Pro 5.0 with the Steeda Tri-Ax handle.

That is the absolute best combo there is. BTW that's what I have also.

I love the feel of the Steeda Tri-Ax but you have to change out the shift knob too. Get a billet one they feel the best IMO.

www.fatknobs.com - love the classic look and feel.

Why do you have to change out the shift knob?

When I race my hand gets sweaty and the stock smooth leather one doesn't do too well then. I've tried to shift hard into 3rd and ended up punching my dash.

Jegs or Summit, you can't go wrong either way. Also while it is being shipped go to Steeda and order their Tri-ax shifter handle. I promise you will be happy with the combo!

PRO-5.0 all the way,

i liked my tri-ax, but it broke about a month after installing it(removal was a pain too seeing as parts of it went into the tranny,) pro-5.0 hasnt had a glitch yet, cant miss a shift if i try

ehm, untill a hot day rolls around and your cars out in the sun for an hour or more.........i had a blister on the center or my right hand from one of those MAC aluminum ones

 

[Mustang5L5]

I love the stock leather shift knob. I have the 99+ knob in all three of my Mustangs. I'm just used to it. Never slipped on me and i love the feel.

Plus it doesn't get warm after 2 hours of driving

 

[mcmmotorsports]

I got a Hurst on the way and a classic Hurst White Ball too!

i may just get one of those steeda aluminum ones with the rubber grip on it, just because it gives you something to grip to when driving hard
