Need a short shifter!! I bought my car back in 03 and it came with a short shifter, but I don't know what kind it is. Anyway it feel like you have to be very precise in shifting my car when racing. I was a shifter that would feel SMOOTH. What's a good short shifter?

Why didn't I think of that? Where can I get a stock Hurst Shifter? I like how SHORT my stick is already. I just don't like the feel of it

Also, I'm not sure how the LSS compares to any of the others. LSS is the only one I have tried.
The Pro 5.0 is kinda notchy though, but it feels really great. Like stated above it clicks going into gears. Its either in or out - not in between.

Mine is the opposite. I have the stock hurst and it is real notchy but my friend has a Pro 5.0 and his is smooth as butter.

First off, check to see what kind of shifter you have. It's probably a stock Hurst.
Your problem could be your transmission. I've had my stock Hurst, and a B&M, and it doesn't matter: my transmission doesn't wanna go into the next gear at high RPMs. I changed shifters a few times before realizing this.
So now this winter we're pulling the tranny and rebuilding it, and probably adding a Pro 5.0.
