Ok folks, i've decided what i'm buying myself for my birthday. I will be getting a Shifter for my TKO. The question is which is the best and why. i am looking for the shortest throws, with adjustable stops I don't want something with really strong centering springs, this is not exclusively for drag racing. My old hurst from my t5 had adjustable spring tension and i found i could shift better with the softer springs. I know Hurst, B&M, pro 5.0, and steeda make shifters. what is you opinion/experience been??

 

anybody???

 

I got the Hurst on my TKO, but the threads are stripped (bought it that way). I have my stock T-5 **** on the stripped threads and it works great. I like the throw and vertical adjustability of the Hurst. It is much shorter than the T-5 but doesn't seem (From memory) as short as the T-56 Hurst.

 

Pro 5.0 baby!

It has what you want.

I second Schultzy. I love my Pro 5.0.

at the risk of sounding ****. the thing i guess i'm concerned with is, how stiff the centering springs are.

 

What is your concern? That the centering springs are too stiff? If that is it between the hurst and the pro 5.0 you would probably want the hurst.

when i first got my hurst shifter for the t5 i set it up as it came with both centering springs on each side. i figured it was better for drag racing. i guess it is but years later i took one pring from each side and discovered i could shift up and down much smoother and faster for normal driving. I was very pleased. Thats what i'm worried about, rowing through traffic for 2 hours a day, and being able to down shift quickly and smoothly. In my opinion stiff springs are only good for very aggressive upshifting, it gets tiresome otherwise.
