I think it is personal preference. I have used the Hurst, the B&M ripper, the UPR Blue Thunder and the Pro 5.0. No experince with the triax but I like the Pro 5.0 out of all I have used.

Ive driven lots of cars with different shifters. It definatly has the most to do with your personal tasts. I love the Tri-ax, to me it feels like it has the shortest throw, but thats most likely just my imagination. But the only on i dont really like is the Hurst, i just couldn't seem to get the feel of it even after driving my buddies car in traffic for over an hour.

I went with an MGW. Im very pleased, though the only other shifter ive tried is stock.


When researching on shifters before i bought mine, i came to the conclusion that "the best shifter" is indefinite. I never got a straight answer, so i just went out on a limb and bought an mgw. I was really close to buying a pro 5.0, but i went with the MGW. I didnt hear anything bad about it at all, and though more people say pro 5.0, the MGW is new on the market, so i didnt expect to see too many people commenting on them.

I couldnt really ask for more in a shifter, it serves it's purpose.
