has anyone put in the pro 5.0 shifter? Im thinking about takeing out the hurst on my ss and wanted to know if anyone had anything to say about it?

All I can say is... DO IT! I recently switched from a Hurst Billet Plus to a Pro 5.0 after trying one out at SLP Day last year. It's like night and day... the 2-3 shift on the Pro 5.0 is as easy as the 1-2 shift.

I just about gave my 5.0 away! Did not like at all! Even son who has the Pro 5.0 on his Mustang said it was lousy! I went to the Hurst Chrome billet shifter and like it very much! Think it boils down to personal preference. Posted by Scott Chab (Member # 174) on :

Interesting.... what didn't you and your son like about the Pro? I think the Hurst is way too nothcy and the 2-3 shift isn't exactly confidence inspiring...

I have the SLP shifter with Lou's short stick and I noticed a huge improvement from 2-3 over the stock shifter. I haven't tried the others.

I had the SLP installed Hurst Shifter, and even with the SHort Stick I still didn't like it. The Short Stick helped alot but not enough for me.
I LOVE my Pro 5.0. For my taste its VERY confidence inspiring. When Chab and I were at SLP day we both fell in love with the Pro 5.0.
I like the Ripper as well. Thats also a nice shifter.
I had a Aftermarket Hurst in my 95 and that was nice (not as nice as my Pro 5.0)
I have also installed a Kirban Kwik and that was pretty nice, stick was toooooooo short.
I checked out a Billet Hurst and it seemed ok, but I still preferred my Pro 5.0.
But like someone said, its personal preference. I checked the ones out I was insterested in and then made the purchase.
