RE: WHICH SHIFTER YOU PREFER?

On my 90 gt I always loved the pro5.0 but when i sold my set up i got a hurst for free so i just put that on for the time being and i was really impressed. The handle was a little angled torward you unlike the pro5.0 and the shifts seemed easier and less missed power shifts. I am gonna look into a new one for my 03 but not sure which one. Its between the hurst and the steeda for me for now.

My roommate has the stock Hurst in his WS6 and I dont really like it. I didnt really get a feel for the Steeda when I drove Joes car but it was a nice clean shift and I have never felt the MGW, so I cant really speak on that one. I have the Pro 5.0 and I can speak for it. I LOVE it. Its a much shorter throw than stock and after you get used to it then you will almost never miss a shift. I believe if you narrow your search down to the Pro 5.0 or the Steeda you will be fine either way.

It cant have side exhaust because of the way the chassis is desighned but roush said they will make there on version with the side exhaust soon. Dont remeber werre ir ead this though but i do know this is true...

You can slightly improve your feel with an aftermarket, and you can improve the positive feel by going with a sping loaded tri ax. Other than that you won't gain at all. You Saleen shifter isn't bad. You won't be able to shorten the throw at all, really.

RE: WHICH SHIFTER YOU PREFER?

The reason i want to change my saleen shifter is because i broke too many tannys because of over shifting. I feel safer with the shifter stops and i also dont like the feel of the 3rd gear when i put pressure on the shifter while cruising.
