Well as promised I am posting to let you guys know how I like the shifter.....Well I LOVE it!!!, so much more positive feel, and CRAP the throw is short, if I had to guess I would say around 70%+, and unless you let out of the clutch too early, I cant see a way that you could miss 3rd if pushed in the general directon.Hitting 5th from 2nd is next to imposible, and to go back to first you would have to grab the shifter and pull it too you while pushing up to hit 1st...basically impossible if you use the palm of your hand to push it (like I do).Got it in the mail yesterday, and me and dad just installed it...installation was SIMPLE, (some complain about the instructions being vauge (sp?) but they are more than adequate unless you have ABSOLUTLY NO mechanical skills) only tricky part was to get the trim off without damaging anything, since we really dont do it much LOL.The handle is a little short, and would probably not work well for really tall people, but I just lowered my seat and moved forward a little to get it just about right.I only drove it for maybe 10 minutes but I was already gettting used to it.Its a little stiff when slamming into 3rd but its NOT bad at all for being brand new.Like everyone has said the quality and feel is worlds about the stock one...but if your not into racing, the stock one will do just fine because it is more comfortable to shift.The Pro 5.0 has basically NO slack like the stock one does, and with this shifter, you know when you hit the next gear and is far from mushy.When compared to stock, the stock looks amazingly CHEAP in design and especially in quality...also looks VERY weak.Bottom line, if you have problems shifting your stang, like missing 3rd or just cant find the gears, BUY THIS SHIFTER!Even if you think you like the stock one (like I did, I loved it) you should still buy it, its much better than the sloppy weak stocker.Also I didnt really notice any noise or vibration...if so VERY slightly, unlike the big noise increase people complain about when getting the triax....that was really one of the main reasons I got the pro 5.0, I did NOT want to sacrifice drivability or the enjoyment of driving it...and I didnt LOL.Sorry so long, but I want you guys to have a good review of this product......BUY IT, you wont regret it.
