Ordered it from Holcomb Motorsports in NC and got it the next day. It took about 30 minutes to install but I left the inner cover and shifter boot off because I was running out of time. Big mistake. It was cool at first. You can really hear the trans, the road and the exhaust. The trans actually rotates under power, the shifter handle rolls over to one side. But, after the engine heats up it really flows intot he engine compartment. I'll put the boots back on tonight. With them off it really feels like a race car. You feel it and smell it.
I put a Pro 5.0 on my 99 and had it on there for three days before I let a salesman talk me into an 01. I remember it was a bid improvement and very notchy over the 99/01 stock shifter. I put a Steeda on my 01 because Pro 5.0 did not have one at the time for a 3650 trans. It generates a lot of gear noise. The stock shifter on the 03 is a big improvement over the 99/01. But, the 5.0 really makes the shifts a lot more snappier. It does feel a little smoother than my other 5.0 on my 99 Cobra. I could have lived with the stock shifter but i'm addicted to racing on the local track so I hope this will improve my times and keep me from damaging the trans.
