What Shifter (short throw) Do You Have?

[MunsterZ28]

my hurst just goes straight to third it seems i never have an issue.

Didn't like the pro 5.0 at first but it's grown on me. Maybe once I get the tick master in it'll get a lot better...when my clutch actually fully disengages every time.

Same. I didnt like my pro 5.0 with the knob. but now that i have a pistol grip it seems like it was made for that.

I still have the stock leather knob and H8 it so I think I'm going to buy a nice plastic white knob with the 6-speed pattern on it. Kinda hard to justify $30 for a plastic ball though.

Interesting - I really like my stock Hurst leather knob. I'll probably get a brand new one when I order the new shifter, mine is a little worn like most

I switched from the stock leather ball to a Hurst T-Handle today, just for the hell of it. I'm not really a fan of it, but it's better than the ball for sure. Once I get rid of the Firebird, I'm going to get the same setup that Joel has.

so let me get this straight all I have to do is create a thread asking for opinions then ask to test drive someones car and I'd get all these offers to drive someones car?! Where can I sign up!

lol... i was more or less joking about test drives, but sitting in the car, stationary and running through the gears would probably give me a good enough idea of the shifter - you can make the engine noises for me!

btw, i do appreciate the offers - may have to take you guys up on them

I have a black billet shift knob with the firebird emblem engraved into it if you want it. Tom was suppose to pick it up 2 years ago and he never followed through. Its still in the box. UPS label says 08

Sure...how much?

If you want smooth shifts just do an auto swap!! Smooth perfect shifts every time!!

if you are having problems with the 2-3 shit I would go for the Pro 5.0 It has some really strong centering springs so you just basically have to push forward coming out of second to hit 3rd. I would make sure you dont go with too short of a stick. I had a 6" in my Camaro and I hated it.

[my95z28]

I've heard the exact opposite Ryan, that pro5.0 have really weak springs. A lot of guys take them out and replace them because they can't hit the 2-3.

My car came with a B&M and I HATED it. Driving around crusing it was fun, pretty short throws, but when I wanted to run it 3rd was impossible to find. I put the stock shifter back in and it was better than the B&M. This winter I installed a Pro 5.0, WS6 store short stock, and a pistol grip handle, I haven't tried it out yet but I'm hoping for an improvement.
