RE: Pro 5.0 Shifter

If you dont want to go full out on buying a new shifter, try the Saleen "shift adapter". It will shorten the throws by 30% on the stock shifter and only costs like $50. That's the cheapest thing I think Saleen sells besides stickers! Lots of people have gone with this as the stock shifter ist all that bad and if you are a daily driver person shortening the throws is usually what your looking for, not banging power shifts.

You know the funny part about that... I bought a Saleen short throw adaptor about a year ago when they first came out. It was only $29. Amazing how those bastards raise the price of everything they sell when it becomes popular. Just like the $800 price jump in their superchargers at the beginning of the year.

RE: Pro 5.0 Shifter

Yep that part is now $45, but I guess they see the market demand and adjust for it. They must have seen the SC market and the lack of availablity of the KB and the Whipple twin screws and jacked up the price. Im sure as the new kits become more available their price will come back down, but now if you dont want to wait long for a t-screw the Saleen is the one.
