Default The sound of performance

I installed my Pro 5.0 shifter last Friday and noticed the humming/vibrating noise that everyone talks about. It's not as bad as I thought it would be. Who cares anyway... I can shift now. I just thought I'd let the whiners know that they should get over it if they want to go fast. You gotta pay to play. Thank you and have a nice day.

Hey you're a poet and didn't even know it!

Too many people complain about shifter noise when they swap to a performance shifter, just imagine how they would be with a M-22 Rock Crusher with straight gears.

You are too. I didn't do that on purpose.

Yeah I had an M22 in my '75 Camaro (eeww, ugly big bumpers) but I couldn't hear it over the open headered big block screaming with the 4.10's. mmmm, big block.

When I put my short stick on I noticed a similar sound. Actually, I thought it was pretty cool. But I guess I got used to it by now because I don't even notice it anymore.
