WS6 Store Short Stick on PRO 5.0 Has anyone installed a WS6 Store Short throw stick on a Pro 5.0 Shifter? I bought one from them and installed it just like the directions say and doesn't look right or feel right? Did I do something wrong? Or am I used to the Pro 5.0 Power Tower shifter Stick that came with it because it is angled a little to the driver. Please Help me out. Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks.

Just exactly like raven said...the Pro 5.0 stick is slightly longer and is angled to the driver whereas the WS6store stick is not angled and is shorter. It's all a preference thing...I prefer the straight stick...I think that the angled one looks funny plus I dont like the feel of it.

I just got a pro 5.0 yesterday, with the handle cut down. I haven't tried it with my ws6store short stick yet. Another thing you can do if you like the shortness of the ws6store stick but the angle of the pro50, is get a ball **** with no neck on the bottom of it. That makes the shifter shorter.

If you dont like it couldnt you put it in a vice and bend it??
I've got just the Pro 5-0 but have been thinking of trying one of those other shorter sticks.

Thanks guys for replying. I love my Pro 5.0. But want a shorter stick on it that's all. I think I got use the the angled stick that came with the PRO 5.0 and installed the WS6 short stick and didn't look or feel good. Maybe a need to get the UMI SS. But the power tower stick is back on which has been shortened. But it could be a little shorter though.

I too have a pro5.0 and LSS, love it... SO short, so positive.
But if you wanted to bend a short stick, just heat that bitch, slide a pipe over it, and push... ( don't hold it with your hands when heating, us a vice )
