pro 5.0 I have now a factory Hurst Shifter with my 01 ws6. Is the Pro 5.0 shifter worth the 175.00 from LMP performance? I didnt think that just the upper half of the shifter could make such a difference in shifting or ammount of throw from shifter. Your thoughts plz

hey just installed my pro 5.0 about 3 hours ago. Wow does my shifting feel solid now. Looking back at stock, felt like i was churning butter! Haha now i feel like im loading a bolt-action rifle. BTW did any of you guys nodice a vibration though that increases with revs, but goes away when you push in the clutch? I mean my install was flawless so i don't know what it could be other than its normal, or now a noise that was isolated before is now coming through the current shifter since it has less isolation.

That's a common mistake. I actually had my Pro 5.0 installed by one of the older and more reputable sponsors on this board who have a reputation for fine attention to detail, and this one still got past them.

I tightened the bolts before i put the new shifter in, so I'll double check them, but if its bolted correctly then what? Do i have a more serious problem? Also, when you see the pro 5.0, you see what a POS the stock "Hurst" shifter is. All the parts are like stamped tin.
