Default Pro 5.0 C5 Shifter

Just got another update from Pro 5.0 on the C5 shifter. They have finished their R&D this past month and the final version of the shifter will have an adjustable height. Sounds like the shift effort will be adjustable. Think I am going to hold out to see what their final product looks like before buying a shifter.

Why, do you have experience with the Mustang shifter? If so, please elaborate so we can understand why you didn't like it.

I liked the fact that it had adjutable stops, and by far it is the best shifter for the money for the mustang. The two piece design for the shifter handler is weak. It is only held in by two allen bolts. Its just another thing to go wrong. I have had some loose up at the most inappropriate times (like friday night at the drags). After having a Pro 50 and a ripper. I can say that the ripper is a superior product. If they would of put in adjustable stops in it then the ripper would have been a hands down choice.

Most of my firends in the mustang community are switching to the NEW B&M ripper for the T56. Much better design. shorter throws. not notchy like the Pro 50 can be.
