make sure you get the extreme handle upgrade, its free. the handle adjusts up,down, and aliitle bit left or right to make it position the way you like it.

i looked at them, looks like it wont work good. the thing i didnt like was the collar that holds the handle, with a of gear jamming looks like it might get loose. i dont know just my opinion.

listen to me, I have felt most shifters but the mgw. I've got a pro50, and I have not felt a single shifter tighter and better feeling than it is. I promise you if you get a pro50 you will be very very happy. btw I'm pretty sure all short throw shifters are "springloaded" or the same idea atleast, I know its pretty much impossible to miss 3rd in mine. PRO50

i had looked at the pro 5.0 also..but i have heard that MGW is even better, i just want to make sure that i can get the best shifter i can get..but the pro 5.0 will be taken into consideration. Ill look more into Pro 5.0 now.

I started with a Steeda Tri-Axe. Naturally, I was instantly in love with the shorter, more precise shifts. Soon, however, I came to despise the gear chatter that the Tri-Axe made at freeway speeds.
Having heard about the MGW shifter, and knowing first hand about the quality of their products (I have a complete MGW billet interior), I ordered one up. A couple days later, it was installed and ready to go. Let me tell you; the MGW is light years ahead of the Tri-Axe. The throws are so much shorter, the shifts more precise and not a hint of gear chatter. The MGW is a superior product, in my opinion.
Of coarse, this is just my opinion and everyone has a tendency to favor what they own.
