what shifter do you run? (manual trans cars only)
what shifter does everyone run?
in my 86 im running a hurst stick with a ws6 store short stick
in my 02 im running a pro 5.0 with a umi short stick
i like to change things up and like both shifters so i think i will keep them as is. but i wanted to mix things up to get a different feel. i was thinking a lou's short stick on the iroc. has anyone tried this before? i think it should work.
for those unfamiliar with a lou's short stick, it has a bend towards the driver as well as a slight bend towards the rear of the car. heres the link

Re: what shifter do you run? (manual trans cars only)
I have steed tri-ax shifters in both my cars, on a tko600 and a t5. Love them though the stock stick is a little short and I needed to extend them a little to work properly.

Pro 5.0 on my T5 with about 1.5" cut off the top. It was a bit too tall for my taste.

Re: what shifter do you run? (manual trans cars only)
I have an old B&M Ripper in my 83's T5 and a Pro 5.0 in the T56. I'm looking forward to driving it to see how the Pro 5.0 is.

Re: what shifter do you run? (manual trans cars only)
Bumping this as I was researching shifters when I found this thread!
Back when I had my Iroc-Z I had a B&M but they're the most expensive and not sure if there's any benefit.
On ebay there seem to be a few to choose from.
The first one I've never heard of but the price is tempting. Anyone try it yet?

And after reading this one I think it's the one I want to go with as it's the shortest and seems there's been more R&D into it!

I have a T56 and use an MGW shifter, can't believe how short the throw is

Re: what shifter do you run? (manual trans cars only)
I took a spare stock T5 stick and cut it down to the same length as the pro 5.0.
same results, just no stops.
