I have a Momo **** on my Pro 5.0. Took a little bit of clearancing inside the hole to fit onto the stick, not much, took just a few minutes with an air grinder.

Bayer:

Do you have anything besides the ****?? (Heehee I said ****)

I've got SLP's Shifter Base, the same ****, and Lou's Short Stick

With all of that the shifting feels entirely different, precise, and quick.

SLP doesn't seem to sell the Shifter Base anymore, but here's a package from AfterMarketAuto.com Pro 5.0 Package that would be similar

Check out http://www.ripps70.com/Page_1.html

They have a ton of different options, and can even make you a custom one like they did for me

Mine here. Custom made marble. Can't remember the name off hand though. Still a trade secret.

Those look nice, but do they get hot in the summer? I had afriend that had an hard plastic one and it would get hotter than I care to touch after the car sat out in the summer.

On the short stick 5.0 combo, I wouldn't spend the extra cash. All you have to do is litereally cut .25" off the top of the shifter stick supplied by Pro 5.0 and you have a short stick. Don't worry, the stick is threaded further down than needed. There now you have $30-40 extra that you didn't spend on a Lou's stick to put towards a ****.

On the Lou's Stick issue, you CAN just cust the stocker, except that it has a Jog in it, and IMHO that puts the Shifter slightly out of place when cut

So if $50 is an issue go for the chop, but I would stand behind Lou and the Short Stick

Nothing will get much cooler than marble or plastic in the heat of the summer (maybe rubber, but it'll still be hot). They really aren't bad IMO, especially compared to a metal shift ****. I have one of those in my Formula, and it will give you frostbite in the winter, and burn you in the summer.

W/the pro 5.0 you don't use the stock stick. The stick provided w/the pro 5.0 is a solid piece of metal just like the Lou's. It just comes longer so you can cut it to your desired length.

I had an aftermarket short stick on my stock Hurst. When I bought to the pro 5.0, it was used and the stick had already been cut and was the same length as the aftermarket short stick I had.

Ahhhhhh Sounds like then you could skip Lou's Short stick if you go wiith the Pro 5.0 Shifter as long as you shorten the stick yourself

I went with a C6 shift ****. It was in the 80$s if I remember right, but definitely looks kick ***.
