I heard of the guy that sells shifter gaskets for a lot of cars out there, (cobrabob's shifter gaskets) something like that.

Would his gasket quiet down my loud and annoying pro5.0? do you guys have any other suggestions?

It should help some with the noise, but don't expect it all to disappear. Cobrabob's gaskets are nice...I've used one for quite some time.

Yeah I was just on his site. Will his gasket work with my pro5.0? Im tired of the noise this thing makes. My factory unit couldnt be heard.

I have a pro 5.0 with this and i think its quiet. I got it primarily to get it to quit leaking tranny fluid.

Couple dollars at the hardware store. Comes in two thicknesses. I used the thinner of the two.

Few minutes trimming it to fit. I left it bigger to keep it from deforming. Spread an even, thin layer of RTV around on both sides of the gasket.

My shifter is quiet as can be. I dont hear it at all. Maybe its all the other noise from my car... It doesnt leak either.

I didnt feel like paying and waiting for pre-made ones. Its the simplest shape to cut out...takes a few minutes.

Thats it nothing more to it, just to cover the base? What exact gasket type is this that I need to look for?

That's exactly it, and why it only costs $7.00 from Cobrabob. I didn't know where to source the material, so I just ordered it from him.

I picked my material up at ACE...in the plumbing section. Im sure any hardware store worth a darn would have it...or something similar. Something about being gasket material for toilet fixtures or something. Comes in 8"x8" squares or something like that. Two thicknesses. And I used the other piece for other little projects. Worth the few bucks.

You cant go wrong either way. I just happened to need the gasket right away, and found the material so decided to make it. It really is that simple.

Yeah i dont know what that material is really. im gonna have to see it in person or do more research.

Would dynomat work well too? It is designed for sound detaning....

I made my own also. It's just rubber gasket material from any hardware or auto store. Don't use the stuff that looks like cork. the material I used was a red in color rubber. I think I got it from Home Depot or Lowes.

No...dynomat isnt gonna work haha. You might be over thinking this... Just get some type of rubber, not too thick, and cut to fit. Simple as that. Dont get cork as mentioned above. Also...when you use the rubber gasket, you dont gotta crank down the bolts. The rubber, with some RTV on it, will seal really easy. If you crank down too hard, all you'll do is squish the gasket out and strip the bolt holes.

I tried to find the gasket pack that I got online somewhere...but couldnt find it. But home depot, lowes, ace, mom and pop hardware, true value, etc etc should all have something you can use for a couple bucks.

Here's one that would probably work...

I just mentioned dynomat because a friend of mine recommended it. I didnt think that it was needed for this either. The homedepot link you sent didn't work :S

ghettocruiser

iTrader: (17)

Its not that dynomat wasnt needed..its not what dynomat is used for. Its not gasket material. You could layer the tunny with it...but that wont stop the noise from coming up through the shifter body itself.

Not sure why the link wont work...worked for me from two different computers. In any case...just put this number in the home depot search box. 59849 That'll take you to it.

The gasket is not going to help quiet the sound, seeing that the stock hurst just came with a sealent gasket as well. The sound is coming through the shifter itself, look at your stock shifter and the asembly of the pivot. There are 2 sets of rubber boots and inside stop sound as well as rattling from the stick. The pro 5.0 is just a shifter, no sound isolation. The one thing you can do is not cut the lower boot all the way, but just barely around the shifter, and this does help.

It sure helped mine. Mine sounded like a sewing machine when I first installed it. Then I decided to change fluid, so I pulled the shifter, re-packed with grease, sealed it with the rubber gasket + RTV and it was a totally different shifter. I cut my lower boot to go all the way around the shifter base, so I could get at the stop screws and what not. She's quiet as can be now. Or atleast I cant hear it above all the other noise. hahaha.
