Hey. If you follow the boards at all you know im in the process of rebuilding a T5.

I want to replace the shifter and Im kind of torn between the Hurst (if they even make one, I dont know), the B&M Ripper, or the Pro 5-0. I dont think I want to spend the money on the Pro 5-0 yet because I plan on getting a Tremec TKO ot TKO-II when I start making modifications.

So...what do you all think I should do? Is the B&M a good choice? Thats honestly the one Im leaning towards.

Any of those would be a nice improvement over stock.

Since you are looking for recommendations, how long before you swap tranny's? I would put that money towards the new tranny and shifter rather than a shifter that will be unusable in 'x' amount of time.

It may be a year before I swap trannies. I will be buying "other" stuff before I get to the "I need a Tremec now" stage...
