Default short shifter

If I get a short shifter on my t-56 (01camaro SS) do i need to also make modifications to my tranny? will it hurt the tranny alone?
I am planning on getting a hurst or a pro 5.0 are those good choices?thanks

Go with the Pro 5.0, don't waste your time with the Hurst. I had a Hurst shifter stock, and I thought it sucked. Very imprecise, not a very short throw, and always missed 3rd gear (either hit the gate or ended up in 5th).

The Pro 5.0 is just a much better shifter. Its got a shorter throw, much more precise (none of the rubbery feeling that the Hurst had), and almost impossible to miss 3rd.

No, no other tranny modifications are needed. It should be better for the tranny since it's harder to miss gears. I have the B&M and really like it.

I want very short throw and it sounds like the pro has it but in that link it says that it makes a rough noise. i am very bitchy about noises. what should I get? I race a few of my buddies w/ auto ls1's we come close most of the time( I know I can beat them), but when I shift I give the that second to catch up and at the end I end up paying for it. I thought if I had a short shifter I would be faster in my shifts.
