Is the Pro 5.0 worth it.....

Well I have the stock Hurst with the LSS on it. With this setup sometimes it will not engange into 4th as it is hitting the bar between 2nd and 4th gear. I was wondering if a change to the Pro 5.0 would be worth it......or is it not much better than the stock Hurst?

i like my 5.0, aside from the fact that the money shift is way too easy to make.

I love my Pro 5.0. I would HIGHLY recommend getting it. I have a short stick with and it is incredible. The LSS will work with the Pro 5.0 if it is the same design as my Jarrods Short Stick (I think it is).

I've been using the 5.0 since last winter. I have had only one mis-shift the whole time. Hit 2nd instead of 4th and broke both of my rear bilstein shocks in half lol. My only complaint is that sometimes I reach muscle failure trying to get into reverse.
