PRO 5.0's installed! I got the new shifter put in the car friday and im loving it! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> I should have gotten this a long time ago. The gears are so much closer together now and it just feels good when shifting. I'd recomend this be the first mod M6 guys do , huge improvment over stock. I might cut the stick to make it a little bit shorter though. I think this is my favorite mod so far...well mabye besides the exhaust. Now ...what should i do next? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Re: PRO 5.0's installed! Cool man, congrats!
I've had the Ripper and then decided to try the Pro 5.0 and I didn't care for it as much as the Ripper. But to each his own, it's like Pepsi vs Coke.
You can cut the stick or get "Lou's Short Stick." I broke my Hurst leather **** (when I installed the Pro 5.0..lol) and ended up buying a MBA "SS" **** from Thunder Racing. I like it alot, the threads in the MBA shifter ball are ALL the way at the top so it dropped the height about one inch over the Hurst leather ****. Just a little FYI. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
Next mod? I would say headers or gears. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
Happy modding,
Craig.

Re: PRO 5.0's installed! nice.....I love my pro 5.0......if you really want to make it fast, do what I did:
1) remove the shift **** and put a dab of paint on the top thread (bright color)
2) reinstall the **** and thread it on all the way
3) remove the **** and measure how many threads have paint on them (this will tell you how many threads are inside the ****).
4) starting at the bottom thread, measure that number of threads up the shaft and add one full thread.
5) cut the shift handle off at that point
6) reinstall the ****....it will be short and fast <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
my **** now has a throw of less than 4" (about 3.75") <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />
