Pro 5.0

You need to feel them out if you have an option, they are all different.

i liked my hurst, but its starting to fell more notchy than before. When im as the track there is nothing i can do to keep it from grinding into second. I have replaced the motor mounts as suggested and next ill do the torque braces, anyone have any thoughts?

This i why I am going to get an MGW, the hurst shifts nice half the time and the other half feel crunchy like im grinding.....

I am really in the minority here but I love my FRPP shifter, tho it was really stiff and notchy at first. After 3500 miles it feels just right. I do want to have the Hurst 8-ball **** because put on it because I had it in my 66 gt 350 replica.

I had been considering the mgw, hurst, and 5.0 and i have heard about the "rattling" in the hurst, but the hurst is only 189$ brand new on ebay, while the mgw is 300$, and the 5.0 around 250$. Im assuming the install is about the same and i will be attempting it myself.
Im not sure what to do with that price difference, i wish i could find some used ones on craigs list lol
