Pro 5.0
 

Anyone running a Pro 5.0 on their T5? How do you like it?

little G had one on his 2002 V6. i'm pretty sure he liked it from what i hear

i have one on my mustang...its sex

does MGW make a shifter for GM T5's? theyre "supposed" to be even better...but the Pro 5.0 is awesome

edit: i also had one on my 87 mustang, it was that good that i bought another

I run the Pro 5.0 in my LS1 and the Hurst Billet in my LT1. Both are definetly a upgrade, the Pro 5.0 feels a little better. I don't know how to describe it unfortunetly .. lol

from the stock T5 shifter to the pro 5.0 ive noticed 5 things:

1. its quieter
2. its smoother
3. shorter shifts
4. MUCH easier to bang 3rd
5. i beat on the car more :lol:

I agree with all of what you say Matt except about it being quieter.

yeah......its loud, and notchy.......but it shifts fast and smooth

well mine had a hurst on it before....and the hursts for the fords are crappy, maybe thats why it was a little quieter

This man speaks the truth....

When is it loud during shifts?

I would assume so, since that's the only time it's doing anything.....

My son had one in his 1999 Trans Am Ram-Air when he bought it used. It was very BUZZY and metallic sounding even when driving it around town. He put in the Hurst and it made a difference(quieter)and seemed to shift just as well. I would assume IF you want to power shift 90% of the time, the Pro 5.0 will hold up better, but for the most part the Hurst model just seemed smoother!

MGW is great. just put one in my car :jake: i'm quite certain they don't make one for the T5 though

jake, what did you have before the mgw?

B&M. the MGW has far shorter throws but is much stiffer and notchier. never drove a pro 5.0 but i never liked how the stick sat all the way by the passenger side. the MGW cures that without the need for a short stick. here is some pics-

i forgot to mention that i also bought one of MGWs shift knobs. its in the pics. one thing i want to note that you can't see in the picture is that there is a screw on the shift knob so you can screw it into the stick and make it straight and immovable.

again sorry for the hijack. i promise i'm done after this

My PRO 5.0 is not angled really. I have the UMI short stick I put on the Hurst in my LT1 brings it way over the left.

tim, not that is angled, but is it closer to the passenger side of the console than the center?

I can go look next time I go into the car... lol

when my car is in FIRST, i can put a finger between the stick and the passenger side of the console, it dosent seem like it would fit, but it just barely does, almost touches in reverse
