just ordered my pro5.0 today and was wondering if anyone had any pics to share if youve got em,how was the install how long to change over from stock,have heard a lot of good thing about this shifter hope it lives up to half of all these praises,i went though blueovalindustries direct and got one for 175.00 not bad including ship to cali.heard they send you mustang install dir. what a jokei wanted to ask also how would this new shifter go along with the 3:43 rearend and posi that i have in my z28

 

what do you need pictures for, its a straight forward install. Pull the console, pull the rubber boot, bam there's the shifter. 4 bolts, shifter pops off. same 4 bolts, new one goes on. reverse everything else.

you'll love the shifter, thats for sure. much cleaner and crisper shifts. I had a B&M Ripper and never did get over how much better it felt compared to stock.

 

thanks for the info,blunt and to the point,its just my first install want evrything to go right,just a quick question it makes sense to do the swap with the shifter in neutral yes,like i said this is my first camaro and first mod,thanks

 

doesn't make a bit of difference if its in neutral or not, because once you get the shifter unbolted, you'll see that there is a shift block in the trans that the end of the shifter slips down into. Once the plate is unbolted, you can slide the shifter plate around and the shifter above the pivot point will move around as the part below the pivot point remains in the shift block. kinda hard to explain. Once you get the shifter out and are ready to put the knew one in, you'll see what I'm talking about.

 

just one more thing the two stops where do they get set at?,how do you know were to set the stop?

 

To set the stops you need to have the tranny in gear. Start with first and make sure that the car is fully in gear. Then tighten the stop down until it just barely touches the shifter. I leave about a 1/64" gap just to make sure the tranny will get all the way in gear. To set the bottom stop you need to put the tranny in 4th and do the same thing. Run the shifter through all gears and make sure they all engage without the stops interfereing. it is pretty simple once you have it in front of you.

 

thanks again great info, cuda69

 

Here's what it looks like underneath the shifter.. Mine's a T56 but it should be the same idea.. Just stick it on and bolt it in place.. I reccommend using some loctite on the bolts that hold the stick to the shifter itself, they will loosen up after a bit and you'll be stuck with a sloppy stick and end up having to pull it apart again and do it anyway.. (ignore all the wire, I've fixed all that since, old pic)
