Prolly has been done before but being that I am in the purchasing mood and was motivated by slprocks' thread, which shifter should I buy?

I was going to go for the ripper but I have heard individuals still messing up shifts. Is this a problem with the 5.0 as well? I like the return on the pro 5.0 also.

Tell me what you think!

 

Pro 5.0 Just trust the forum and get it. You won't be dissapointed. And if you are, send it back

 

Topic is beaten to death and all you're going to get are 99% personal opinions. Either one is much better than the stock piece. A poll won't do a darn bit of good compared to trying both shifters if you can find the people to let you do that. If you can't find anyone, just buy the one that you get the best deal on.

For the record, I'm a very satisfied Pro 5.0 shifter owner.

 

Pro 5.0 is the way to go.

 

neither...

do a budget shifter...

hurst shifter that came on the SS/WS6 used for bout $50 and a lou's short stick for %55 new

great short, solid shifts for half the price

 

I'm very curious to see which comes out on top. I am also interested in buying a shifter.

Does anyone know if both the 5.0 and the Ripper are compatable with Lou's short stick?

 

the ripper isnt, the pro 5.o is. I believe the pro 5.o is what Im going to go with and buy lous as well. Keep in mind that the poll results are b&m -1 because I just voted the top choice to see my results thus far. I hear better things about the 5.o and I definately like the guarantee

 

i beleive you can buy a lou's SStick for the ripper, it's a specifically built one for that shifter...i think...look at his page in my sig

 

Please don't think I am dumb for asking because I am considering a purchase also, but Where is a good place to get a Lou's and how is it better than stock and the 5.0?

Afterthoughtsauto.com carries lous short stick for about $50

 

They also have a combo package of the Pro 5.0 with LSS. Don't remember off the top of my head how much it costs though.

Yet another vote for the Pro 5.0.
I just cut the stick on mine 1" and it worked perfect. Didn't really see the need for Lou's stick.

There's also a guy on ebay that sells some short sticks for like $25 or so. He's been getting lots of good feedback on those.

 

Hmm I'll have to check into that.

 

They only have the combo for a M6, DAMMIT!

 

All this Pro 5.0 raving... What makes the Pro 5.0 better than the hurst?
