Hi, you really cant go wrong with either a Steeda Tri-Ax, Pro 5.0, MGW, or Hurst shifter. There are some other shifters out there that are complete knock offs and they will fall apart on you in the future. I had a customer buy a Tri-Ax from me after his $99 shifter came apart on him at the track. If you are interested, I can get you a really good deal on the Tri-Ax, MGW, or Pro 5.0. I offer free shifter gaskets and same day shipping with all shifter purchases. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll be happy to help.

Ya the only ting i dont like about shifters like the pro- 5.0 is that they are to short. i like how the hurst is a little higher up and i have allways liked and trusted hurst. which is better between the tri-ax and the Pro -5.0?

Between the Pro 5.0 and the Tri-Ax, I would have to say Tri-Ax. I know what you are saying about the Hurst. Actually, with the Tri-Ax, there are two positions where you can mount the handle. You can mount it on the lower two bolt holes for the shortest length or you can mount it on the upper bolt holes for a longer handle feel. Either way, I think the Tri-Ax is the way to go. But if you like the Hurst, that is cool.
