Default short throws???

Ive had enough of my stock shifter. Which is the best short throws out there, and are they worth the money.

I have felt both the pro50 and steeda, and I'd take the pro50 anyday. I had a pro50 on my stang and loved it! its worth the couple extra bucks

My Hurst works just as well as any Pro 5.0. When you say Hurst most people think about the ****ty competition shifter. Make sure you get the good one, the one with the short handle and self-centering mechanism, and all that good stuff. Thats what I got and it kicks serious ***.

I had the tri-ax in my GT.

I am going to try either the pro-5.0 or an MGW shifter that is supposedly coming out on my car.

I have the Pro 5.0 in my car and it works very well.The only thing I changed was to machine the bolt holes in the Pro 5.0 handle 1/4 inch and use a spacer under the the factory **** to move it backward and up to better fit my tall frame without having to lean forward to shift.I probably could have used the factory handle but I just have to work on everything.

i picked the steeda tri-ax because I felt that the stock shifter position was too far forward and off to the right. The Steeda moves it back and left a little...so i don't have to reach for 5th.

shifts good too but it gets warm and transfers more noise into the cabin than stock......which is cool with me.
