Default Pro 5.0 shifter for T56?

I've heard that Pro 5.0 sells a shifter for a T56, is this true? If so, is it worth the upgrade? Thanks in advance

In my opinion the pro 5.0 is the best shifter for the T-56. I had the B & M Ripper and returned it within a week cause it felt sloppy and wasnt didnt seem short enough. The pro 5.0 works great and it feels like it has a really strong spring that almost makes the 2-3 shift for you, which helps a lot when speed shifting. Check out afterthoughts auto they sell the pro 5.0 with a shortened stick. Jegs even sells the pro 5.0 now.

I like my 5.0 but if your stock one aint giving you any trouble stay with it. My 5.0 is hella loud and I regret having it sometimes. Do some searches, they have a lot of other problems as well like the centering springs and stuff. When I rev past 4k sound like its gonna explode (rattling).

After a few hours of driving it after the install, I was ******* pissed. I just dropped 200 on this POS that feels just like my stocker.

But then, after a few days, it got real smooth and I started getting used to it. Now, after a week, I LOVE IT! SO much smoother than stock and the stop bolts feel so damn good when you know youve hit the gear.

GET THE PRO 5.0 AND NEVER LOOK BACK.

I ran the Pro 5.0 on both my LS1's. You also might want to look into the UMI short stick
