Well, I now own the car in my sig...I am thrilled to say the least!!

I have some questions I didn't see covered in the stickies.

I want a short throw shifter, which one do you guys recommend? I know its all about feel and preference, so I am open to suggestions here.


My clutch pedal squeaks like crazy, loud squeaking when I press it in...what the hell do I lube or oil it with and where?

Thanks for baring with me, the stickies yielded nothing.

theres a world of fun ahead of u, and it's prob just the bolt holding the pedal, give it a lil lube.

THanks Red Devil, I justregistered!


A fellow ROM trans am owner?? Nice looking car man!


Which bolt? I'm gonna get under there with some WD-40, that sounds okay to do?

I never use WD40 on stuff that needs real lubrication. I only use it on stuff like bolts that are rusted together or what not to get them loose.

Get some white lithium grease for the job, or the like.

So a pro 5.0 shifter is the way to go?

Pro 5.0,MGW and Hurst Billet Plus seem to be the top 3

For the squeaking find Fluid Film. He's a sponsor on here. He'll send you a small sample can and use that. It stopped my front squeaking. Or just replace the spring for the clutch pedal. It's maybe $10 at most from the dealership

I have a Pro 5.0 with a UMI short stick and I love it.

I also have the squeaky clutch pedal

Another guy with a squeaky clutch. Never got around to messin with it.


To OP, I've got an LS1speed short stick. I like it. If you've got the factory hurst, just replace the stock wobble-stick with a new shorter one.

Congrats on your new ride -- looks sharp.

I have a Pro 5.0 mated with Lou's Short Stick (ws6store.com) and I absolutely love it. Had an upgraded Hurst in there before and I prefer the Pro 5.0 hands down. The 2-3 shift with the Pro 5.0 is very smooth -- feels like it's linear....won't have to worry about missing that one any more!

Anyone try the Fidanza short throw shifter??? Real cheap on the Texas speed site

Hey, take the advice and try Fluid Film. I'll ship out a sample can to any member who hasn't tried it and lives in the US. That is how confident we are that Fluid Film will stop that squeaking clutch. It does a heck of a lot more than just stop squeaks, too.
