I found mine in the For Sale section on here for around $150. Afterthoughts Auto is also a great sponsor to deal with. You'll like the Pro 5.0 w/ LSS. Best shifter combo to put in our cars in my opinion.

not trying to change the subject but I have a pro 5.0 w/lss, just wondering if anyone elses' rattles if your hand is not on it. all the bolts are supertight with locktite on them. i know it vibrates alot but it shouldn't rattle, stock shifter was very quiet. it is really annoying. other than that I love it.

You're going to get that with any aftermarket shifter because there are no rubber isolators, etc. like there is in the stock shifter to deaden vibration and noise. Just something that you have to deal with. It gets even more noticeable when you get a cam with a nice lope.

Somebody did a write up on here some time ago about how to quiet it down. I think he used electrical tape and something else. I didn't pay much attention to it. It doesn't bother me, my windows are always down and the radio and exhuast drown out just about anything else.

I have the LSS on the stock shifter(non Hurst)...would upgrading to the Pro 5.0 really make that much of a difference, of course keeping the LSS as well?

Got mine from Afterthoughts, great company to deal with. Don't have any rattling problems, any new noises, ect with it, either. Some loctite on the stick bolts, a little on the shift ball threads, and everything was good to go.
