Default Well I want your opinion

I want to get a new shifter. I have a short shift right now, and I can't shift fast at all in it. PLUS it's getting stuck between 3 and 5th for some odd reason. Anyway, I want something that I will be able to shift quickly with but still has a good feel to it. Any suggestions? OH also, I don't want to pay 9000 dollars for one lol.

Was it pretty smooth? I want something that I can just throw to a gear with no resistance, or at least very little resistance lol. That's one of the big things slowing my times down. My shifts are horrible with this shifter I'm probly losing 2 - 3 tenths of a second just because of horrible shifting lol.

Yes, the pro 5.0 is smooth and is very easy to shift.. The only thing you will notice is it's real notchy if that makes sense.. lol but overall with the lou's shortstick it's awesome, glad I changed out my Hurst.
