no idea on the shiftin problem. AS for shifter i like my pro 5.0. A lot of people like mgw but i think honestly its kinda like exhaust. ITs whatever feel you like better. THe guy i bought my motor from hated the mgw and switched to a 5.0 cause he though the mgw was too notchy.

Happy with my Tri-Ax. If I had it to do again though I'd shell out the extra cash for the MGW only because people who have it and have used others prior seem to have such a hard-on for 'em.

Part one: If a car has a problem shifting into a gear at a high RPM that is usually the begginning signs of a synco issue.
Part Two: I have a pro 5.0 and love it.
