Be sure to do some reading before you install the K mem brace. There was some bad torque specs that caused some people to twist the heads off some bolts into thier block. I THINK they changed the instructions now but you will want to make sure. I dont remember off hand what the numbers are. The instructions said 89ftlbs and it was supposed to be 33 according to Ford I think. Youll want to check it though.

yeah, i read the entire pages of your thread.. awesome informations.. and it really really makes sense to me.. i wish i would have known that before i bought the shifter but honestly, i learnt what k-member was on that thread.. oh well, at least i am learning..

thanks again..

I see these "locked-out-of-X-gear" posts and I admit I am lost. I have had the Pro5.0 for 7 or 8 months and haven't once even had any resistance to getting the car in gear. I have made about 20 strip passes in the car, power shifting the 2-3 shift at 6000, with absolutely no problem. Maybe I just got lucky and the tranny/engine/shifter is aligneda little better than some of the others.

A couple quick things:

1. The Pro5.0 shifter is MUCH better at the lower setting. I spent about 3 months driving around (and racing) on the high setting. The shifter was very notchy and somewhat noisy - literally "banging" gears. On the lower setting, the throw is much smoother, and no banging - even when racing. The downside is that it takes a little muscle to get to 5th and reverse. Not a big deal, but a little bit of a pain if you keep having to go for those gears.

2. It will feel notchy and stiff for a while. I probably had 2500 miles on the shifter before I noticed it starting to loosen up. You will notice.

3. My whole family races Fox Mustangs, with T5 trannies (discussion for another day). From the handle position, to the ease of throw, to the length of throw and overall feel, we all agree that the '06 with the Pro5.0 is akin cheating!

Doodad, I might not be able to use mine. I have never installed it and ordered it from PMP.
