pro 5.0(never miss 3rd again), i love it, but many dont, some prefer the B&M, or factory hurst shifter w/ a short stick, i suggest get in a buddys car and try theirs, and get the one you like, its all about what feels good to you
edit: i have a umi short stick

Just a short stick isn't going to make a huge difference.

I have a Pro 5.0 and I cut over an inch off the stick... I love it. It shifts a ton better than stock, makes it so much easier to hit gears dead on, and wasn't difficult to install at all. I say go for it.

You can cut it down 1 inch and it'll be perfect.

PRO 5.0 FTMFW! I love love love mine! it's knotchy just like i wanted it, and i haven't missed any gears ever!

plus you can replace the sticks, or switch them out...with the B&M I heard you can't...

I would say 5.0 as well. I like the feel of a notchy shifter.

Yeah the Pro 5.0 is very nice. Just cut at least an inch off with a hack saw, a fine toothed blade, and a vice. Works great.

5.0 without a doubt. I have it and the UMI short stick and I have never had one complaint. Everyone that sits in it and feels it says it is the tightest and shortest throw they have ever touched.

I've always liked my B&M...I've driven one 5.0 with a short stick, and it was a little short for my taste, but that's just me.

I like 'em both. I wish my B&M Ripper was a little bit shorter(I have a MBA **** on it so it's as short as it's gonna get), but it's still pretty good.

Pro 5.0 here. I wish it was a bit quieter but other than that it great. I've only missed 3rd like twice.
