Can you guys post some pictures of your aftermarket shifters in your cars?? Please specify what kind of shifter you have and how you like it. I just ordered a Pro 5.0 with the 5-speed 03 Cobra knob on it for my 92' LX. I think that I will like it and I have heard that the Pro 5.0 is one of the shortest shifters on the market. Thanks

My MGW is amazing, shortest shift on the market, crisp, positive shifts. My friend that has a tri-ax described it as follows: "Going from Stock to a tri-ax, is similar to going from a tri-ax to an MGW (blue handle)" It's amazing.

That is cool. I have heard nothing bad about the Pro 5.0 so I figured I would give it a try and see how it is. The biggest thing I am excited about is the 5-speed 03/04 Cobra knob. Post some pics of your shifter.

The boot is twisted in these pictures, it's not anymore.
If anyone wants to know, I took out the shift stops all the way for this shifter.

I'm just curious. Why are you asking for pictures? Are you wanting to view the shifter handle location?

Yea, I want to see how low the Pro 5.0 shifter that I ordered will sit in my car compared to other shifters.

I have a Pro5.0 in mine and had a Tri-Ax before that and a Hurst in my 87 Fox. Im on leave in TN right now and my car is NC or I would post some pics. It stick up just far enough to grab the shifter and have enough room to shift. Its perfect and I LOVE IT!! You will like it too. Nice Choice.

Ok cool. I think that I will like it a lot. I heard there is 2 different height settings so I am gonna drop it down to the lowest one and see how it feels. I want a REALLY low laying shifter.

Thanks. I was just curious. By the way, if you like your Pro 5.0 but want a better location, you might be interested in this shifter handle plate that moves the handle choser to the driver. Here's the link on my website. I don't sell it. I only point you to the guy that makes it. You'll find pics there as well.
