Default short throw shifter
What kind of short throw shifter is every one using on their T56? Pro 5.0 P3000 OR B&M 45052 which of these do you all recommend?

The factory Hurst is hard to beat. But, I'll have mine for sale next week, however, when my Pro 5.0 arrives!

I'm running a stock Hurst with a UMI shifter handle. Not the best, but or the price, it works pretty nicely.
