my friend has a ripper in his 349........I HATE IT. my friend had a Steeda in his LX. he liked it........til he broke it. i got the Pro 5.0 and my friend who had the LX has a Pro 5.0 in his 331 GT now. i say get the Pro 5.0. i havent missed 3rd yet either........ive had it about 8-9 months now.....i love it. its nice, firm, precise shifts. its reassuring to hear the shifter hit the stops too, so, i say the Pro 5.0.

**** I havent missed third in mine eitehr and I have been racing it over a year now so I dont know but maybe the shorter throws would be good to have, along with a rebuild of my damn tranny.

PRO 5.0 AND STEEDA TRI-AX ARE BOTH GOOD , I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE OTHERS THEY MAY BE GOOD TOO BUT I HAVE BOTH STEEDA & PRO 5.0, THE STEEDA IS A LITTLE STIFFER,MORE NOTCH LIKE . BOTH WILL HELP CLEAN UP THE SLOPINESS IN STOCK SHIFTERS. SO TAKE YOUR PICK, I THINK YOU WILL BE PLEASED. GOOD LUCK WITH IT.
