O.K. i have decided to get a short throw shifter . i have ckd. several sites , jegs , summit , northern etc. . can't decide wich one ( brand ) to go with . they all seem to have the same features . any feedback on brands and part #'s would be great . also one site had t-5 for v-6 and not v-8 , what's the difference ? thank's in advance .

 

the best one I have scene and is not overpriced like most is the PRO 5.0 short shifter!!! it is awesome quality!!!
the stock shifter is a pile with that great rubber dampener built in now you will know why 3rd gear misses

 

bump , anymore feedback ???

 

Hey, Uncle,

I'm running the B&M version. Over the years I've read that the shifter of choice seems to be the Pro, but I can't complain about the B&M.

bump , no one else has a comment ??? with my meager income i want to be sure before i buy . thanks .

 

the pro 5.0 is the best you will find for the money!!! compare to any top brand you find
http://www.lmperformance.com/1614/13.html... there is one on ebay for 109.00

 

thanks for the input . ordered a proform 5.0 from jegs yesterday . looking fwd. to better shifting . thanks again .

 

That's cute... it will work better then a stock
but not even close to the Pro 5.0... I'm not a rep... just telling you 100% fact

 

now your remark is the one thats cute to me . the pro 5.0 & proform 5.0 are one and the same . Proform happens to be the MFG. company , pro 5.0 is just short proform 5.0 . CUTE !!!!!

 

maybe so with the company??? but the shifter I looked at Jegs and mine are night and day
not even close hands down...so yes CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

The representations are sometimes just that, representations, and have nothing to do with the real product.

Proform is a brand name stuck on imported knock-off performance parts. They're the ones having parts made in China, that they sell for less then the name brand stuff.

Pro 5.0 is a company that makes shifters and other billet parts. It's all higher quality then anything Proform sells.

 

88gta , you may be right . but , the part # 778-67030 is the same at auto zone , hawks , summit , northern auto , & jegs . i ordered mine from jegs , we will see when i recieve it . good " CUTE " luck !!!!

 

That Proform shifter from Jegs looks just like every other Proform product... It's a knock off of another company's design, or just a very cheaply made shifter.

In comparison a Pro 5.0 shifter is built like a tank. They cost another $40-60 but they're worth every penny.

 

the t5 for the v6 is probably for 93-02,the t5 for v8 was probably 82-92

 

My MGW is pretty badass!

 

Attachment 194665That is way better then the proform!!! sorry still no Match against the PRO 5.0
Wow lil pricey For A T56 $$$$$$$

 

b&m RIPPER works for me

 

B&M ain't ****. I broke one(got a free replacement) bent another one(the part that goes inside the trans, another free replacement), sold it and went with the Pro 5.0. So far it has taken my abuse. It also has overthrow adjustable stoppers. B&M doesn't.

 

broke one!!! WOW do you have popeye Arms, or a gorilla shift!!! how did you ever get the factory one to shift>>??? LOL just messin

 

Thanks, this looks like its exactly what ive been lookin for since i bought the car. Cant hardly stand it anymore, stock feels like im shifting a SEMI!!!

 

Anybody has tried the Cosmo Racing version? https://www.cosmoracing.com/CAMARO-1...T5-5SPEEDs-Z28

 

No, but as a general rule, if a vendor's website has a who's who of Alibaba Made In China, polished chrome and Ebay anodized aluminum, import tuner parts, it's usually a good indicator that they deal in imported crappola.

 

The thing is that in their About Us section they stated that their parts are manufactured in Japan and/or Taiwan but they assemble them in their facility in Canada. Also its a 1 piece solid shifter which reminds me of the one I used to have before from B&M which they've discontinued it.

 

Can you provide the link?
