Just came back from the track and after missing 3rd gear on two runs I've decided to buy a new short throw shifter. I'm looking for opinions on who makes a good product. Thanks in advance.

 

Me and my friend just installed a B&M Short Throw shifter into his 89 LX, It wasnt that bad o install about 30-45 mins on install, What a differance on shifting from stock to B&M Short Throw, Its a good investment.

 

IMO its Hurst or Pro 5.0. I really like my Hurst shifter, great quality product. I dont see how anyone could be dissapointed with it.

 

steeda tri-ax. its the ****

 

I have heard a few negative comments about the Pro 5.0. Raced at the NMRA in Michigan this weekend and a couple on the drivers mentioned not liking the Hurst.

 

From what I've seen on this site people usually like the Steeda and the Pro 5.0

 

Im not going by what ive heard though, Ive used a Tri-Ax, Hurst, and Pro 5.0. The Tri-ax is good and its handle postioning is closer to stock than the shorter stick of the Pro and Hurst. My Hurst shifts just as well as any Pro 5.0 Ive played with. In high RPMs my Hurst feels like it pulls itself into gear. Hurst has been in the shifter business for a long long time, and they have more than proved theirselves IMO. No complaints here. If you dont want to try a Hurst or Pro 5.0, the best bet is Steeda Tri-Ax. Cant go wrong with Steeda.

 

Go with the pro 5.0[sm=icon_rock.gif]. Its like night and day to a stock shifter. The cheapest I found was from www.laurelmountainmustang.com

 

I have the pro 5.0 and I love it. I never miss third gear since I bought it.

 

an0ther vote for the 5 oh. Steeda makes a good one too. Any of them is better than stock
