Damn pro 5.0
Ok I want to know how many of your guys have had a problem with your pro 5.0? I installed mine today and shifting into second is not as easy as it used to be and when I'm cruising on the freeway at about 60 and I let off the gas and let it go down to about 46 or so it pops out of 5th gear. WTH? Anyone else have these problems before? I mean there is only one way to install this so I couldnt have messed up. And damn I hear the transmission so much now it horrible.

Did you adjust the shift stops????And that's normal when you mount the handle metal to metal on the shifter..try taking a piece of rubber and put it between the handle and shifter base.That should help the noise some.

Well I adjusted the stop on the second gear but the guy that owned it before me tightened the day lights out of it and it doesnt want to budge......at all. I think I will do it this weekend. Can it kill my tranny? And I will try the rubber between the handle and base. Thanks.

RE: Damn pro 5.0
On the instructions it says first and second. What could it be that its so hard to push into the second gear? Do you think if I was to complain to pro 5.0 saying something is wrong that they would fix it?

Thats for 5th gear, it pops out, so I will try to get in there tomorrow and adjust it and all. I did adjust second and it goes in all the way but it clicks into it. It's a double click and its not easy or anywhere close to smooth. Can it be a spring inside the base maybe?

I dont think the stop is the problem. It goes into gear and third, and reverse are no problem at all ONLY 2nd gear and I did adjust it just how they said to do it, screw the bolt until it touchs the handle then go back one whole turn and tighten the bolt.
