Do you ever have problems missing 3rd gear? If you do, get the Pro 5.0 and you shouldn't ever miss it again. The 2-3 is beveled so it shoots right into gear. I love mine. It was a substantial difference over the stock non-Hurst shifter.

The Pro 5.0 stick that comes in the box is angled and works perfectly with at least 1" cut off of it.
Just put the stick in a vice and use a hack saw with a fine-toothed blade. Cuts right through it. Then use a file or a grinder to bevel the edges of the threads so the shift **** goes on easier.
