Pro 5.0 Shifter
Had the Pro 5.0 shifter installed today. After having a regular shifter for so long, I wasn't expecting such a difference. It is not as short as the Toyota MR2 shifter but it doesn't like much being as short. Besides the short throw now, I do hear a lot more tranny noise.

Re: Pro 5.0 Shifter
Aftermarket shifters are great, but honestly I think the Tri-Ax is a lot nicer than the Pro 5.0. I haven't driven anything with an MGW, but I hear they're the thing to have these days.

Re: Pro 5.0 Shifter
We tried the BNK shifter first but I was sold the wrong one and it did not fit. After being given a bunch of grief I decided to go with the Pro 5.0. I am having to teach myself how to shift again. The throw is about a 1/3 as long. Being vertically challenged too, I had to readjust my driving position to be able to reach the shifter.

Re: Pro 5.0 Shifter
The Pro 5.0 and Triax are both nice shifters.
The MGW, however, is completely different, in every way. Totally new design, amazing engineering, and works like a charm. As far as tranny noise, seems thats one of the not so great things about installing an aftermarket shifter. I'm about to try a new shifter gasket made from some kind of silicone material. Its supposed to seal great and really cut down on the noise. Hope the hype is true. We'll see..........

Re: Pro 5.0 Shifter
I have run the B&M Ripper, Pro 5.0, and Steeda tri-ax.
I noticed NO added noise with the B&M and Pro 5.0. The tri-ax on the other hand is loud as crap but I think it has to do with the "pot metal" that the handle is made of. With that being said, I love the tri-ax! For me it is the best out of the above 3 BUT I have heard so many positive reviews about the MGW, that I am going to try it first in the SVO

The tranny noise comes from removing all the rubber crap. That's why the stock shifter feels so sloppy - it's got a lot of soft material in it to dampen vibrations and cut down on noise.
