i have a B+M ripper, it made a world of diffrence over that sloppy stock crap I had. I paid $75 for it used (but it was like new) It feels good and tight. Pro 5.0's feel good and I hear good things about the Steeda tri ax. If I had my choice I think I would buy a pro 5.0 because i like the way it felt on my buddy's tremec. I got a good deal on my B+M Anything is better than stock.

I have the B&M ripper too. Really nice shifter in my opinion. The Pro-5.0 is good too.

I didn't think they were worth it until I drove a car with one, then I had to have it. If your on the fence then you want one. Steeda Triax > all
