- Thread starter nsreed
- Start date
I'm looking to order mine this week. Where did you get yours, and how much did you pay?
From SouthFlorida Pulley HQ -The only place to shop!
I got my shifter from Terry Reals at SouthFlorida Pulley Headquarters. Also where I got my 2.92 pulley, Gatorback Belt, NGK plugs & flip chip. Terry is a rare find. He knows what he is talking about and provides EXCELLENT service, tech info and shipping. Plus he has LOTS of stuff for our Cobras with more coming. Heck, if I could, I would buy my groceries from him!!!!
Check his web site for info on the PRO-5.0 shifter

I ordered it Tuesday, got it Thursday

Is there a shifter specifically for the 03? I just ordered a T56.

My shifter is marked right on the base: T56- 6 speed. You may want to check where you ordered it and make sure it is the 6 speed unit.

Thanks Robm
Thank you very much for the tips!!!!
The actual installation looks very easy. I have not had much time today to mess with it. I started to take the shift knob off as I want to re-use it on the PRO-50. I can't get it to move and I don't want to mark it up. Does it simply uncsrew off the stock shifter shaft?? I could not see any type of lock nut or set screw holding it in position? Any suggestions?? You also mentioned adapter bushings for the shifter that should be in my kit. I didn't receive any. Is that a problem?

GOT it
Ok
The knob did unscrew. 5 minutes later the old shifter is out. Man what a piece of s__t the stock shifter is compared to the PRO5.0
Just about to make the final adjustments and take it for a spin.
Thanks for all your help!
PS. All buttoned up and I am totally happy with the new shifter. Shorter, more precise throw and something that will LAST with the power the car has!
Thanks Terry.... SouthFlorida Pulley HQ RULES!!!!!

What is a fair price on the pro 5.0?
pro 5.0
got mine for $189 from the pro 5.0 shop but then they charged me $35 for an extra handle hehehehe guess they got me there!
What is this handle I'm hearing about that people are putting on their stock shifter?
I want a handle that brings the shifter back towards me alittle thats why i bought the mid length handle for the pro 5.0 and the adapters so you can use your stock handle too.

Silvercoffin: You might be talking about the MGW shifter handle. It is adjustable.

I recommend putting the Steeda Tri-ax handle on the 5.0 shifter. In my GT now i got the Pro 5.0 shifter but i didnt like to reach for the upper gears so i got a Steeda Tri-ax handle and put on there. Same length of handles when i compared them side by side, the Tri-ax just tilts more towards the driver.
I was just going to get the Steeda Tri-ax shifter in my Cobra but after hearing complaints about noise i'm going to just get the 5.0 and buy the Steeda handle.

I'm debating over the Tr-i-Ax or the Pro 5.0. Can you use the stock shifter knob when using the Pro 5.0 shifter?:shrug:
