What t5 shifter are you using?
I have the B&M Pro Ripper. I bought it because they claim it to be the shortest throw shifter available (30% reduction) and the filler plug in the base. I don't even know if I like it. Just wondering what others are running and how they like thiers. I've put less than a mile on the car since the conversion. Hopefully, when I get back in town I will get the exhaust done and put some miles on it. I doupt it though, looks like as soon as I get home, I turn and burn back here for six months, but we will see.

I have the pro5.0 shifter. I don't really like it. It makes all the gears way to notchy and the throws seem just as long as the stock shifter. The only difference in throws is you don't have to push over to do the 2nd-3rd shift.

Even when I put short handle it came with on throws don't feel that short. I've driven a fox with the bbk gripp shifter and throws were much shorter and it went into gear much smoother.

My buddy has a pro five oh, he likes it. this one was like $20 more at the speed shop. Main reason I bought it was the fill plug in the base. And it looks crazt and is adjustble four or five different ways.
