short throw shifter help

fast5.0lx · February 6th, 2011, 01:46 PM

I'm looking to order a new shifter for my 88. So far I'm lookng at three different shifters.
Steeda 555-7353 Steeda Tri-Ax Shifters
Pro 5.0 P1245 Pro-5.0 Mustang Shifters
B&M 45070 B&M Pro Ripper Shifter

Those are the three. Which is the best one, or throw some others out there. Thanks in advance.

Any one of them are excellent shifters. I don't personally like the short handle on the Pro 5.0. I have a Steeda TriAx in my Capri now, and I love it. Never used a B&M, but is supposed to be OK. I've also heard alot about the MGW, but have not personally tried one.

i have the pro 5.0 in mine, i like the short handle and the shifter in general.. personal preference, i had a steeda in it before and didnt like how tall it was.. was like even with the ac controls

I'm ordering one tomorrow. Looks like it's a toss up between the steeda and a mgw

mgw and pro5.0 are the top so either one and it's a win win over the stock shit

the only thing that sucks about mgw is that I cant decide between the orange or silver handle.

There is hundreds of threads on this topic with different opinions. I would just say to try to drive a car with a aftermarket shifter and if you like it, get one. I've only drove mine with a stock one and my friends with a mgw. i really liked that mgw

i have a tri ax and i love it

MGW!!! I absolutely love it. Old buddy of mine had a Pro5.0 and it felt too notchy.

my 96 cobra had a pro5.0, my old lx had some off brand that came with it. and i've drove other cars with after market shifters. But i've never used a b&m or a mgw.
