I am really tired of always missing 3rd gear with the stock shifter!! I am going to go buy a short throw shifter. I drive a 89 LX 5.0.What is the best short throw on the market?? Iwould perfer something that is pretty simple to install with out major mods. Cluch is a king cobra, trans is a T5. All suggestions arewelcome..

The install doesn't look to difficult. only differnce in the install than that link is you have to take out the center console i think?

dont get a upr.... I bought one at the nmra booth last year in BG and only 3 bolt holes lined up... I called and inquired about it and they told me that I would have to pay shipping to send it back and shipping on the new one....I bought their cable at the same time....lasted 20 miles.

MGW, period.

Like you, I was sick of missing third.

I only missed third once with the MGW and that's cause it was breaking-in.

Thanks..Was it a pretty easy install? also did you buy the boot as well or use the stock one?

stock boot

depending on what tools you have, console removal is unnecessary.

ratchet wrench or shallow socket will work well.

gearwrench hollow ratchet works well too

I got a Hurst and I love it... I think they are around $200 but I got mine with the transmission I bought of craigslist so I am not sure on the price but I still give it two thumbs up...
