Pro-Shifter, Short Throw
Has anyone installed the Pro-Shifter, Short Throw on their Cobra? Finish Line is selling the unit - I have had excellent results with a different manufacturer on my 6 speed GTO (also a Tremac), that unit was considerably more money. I wonder how well made this unit is.

The Pro 5.0? I have it and LOVE it. The best feature is that the spring-loaded mechanism ensures that you don't miss 3rd gear on the 2-3 shift. One of the best mods that you can do to upgrade the crappy stock Tremec units. I combined mine with a shorter "Jordan" lever, too. Make sure it comes with the extra lower seal/debris boot...you usually have to pay $20 or so extra for it but it's necessary.

No comment regarding the different shifter mechanism.
I agree 101% regarding the Jordan shifter. Its expensive but worth it. I got the one with the elongated black knob. I did not get the TRACK version.

Works great on my T-5. Solid shifts and tight with no slop. I paid a lot more then Enzo is asking for his. Mine was the complete shifter assy with the adjustable positive stops and with the shifter handle.

I originally had the stock shifter and replaced it with the Steed Tri Ax.

It's been great so far.

FWIW, the Finishline offering does not appear to be the same quality/craftsmanship as the Pro 5.0. This is obviously reflected in the price as well. My $0.02.

It looks like what you get from Finishline is the main shifter assy only. I got mine with the handle and adjusters. of course if I remember correctly mine was in the $150 - $170 range. Might have been a different model.

You probably bought the better one that I did, too. I remember paying about the same. This one lists for $180 and is the real deal...

Just for knowledge, what makes any of these shifter any better than the others ? Why is the stock TKO shifters bad. What about the B&M ?
I'm buying a new 600 Tremec and wanting the best for the money.
Let's get down to the nitty-gretty boyz.

The stock shifter isn't inherently bad, but the aftermarket kits shorten the throw and give you a more positive shift. I drove my car for about 1,000 miles with the stock TKO shifter before going to the Steeda Tri Ax (recommended to me by a local owner) and I've been very happy with it. I don't know about anything about the other aftermarket kits, but the Steeda and the Pro-shift seem to be popular with Cobra owners.
BTW - The shift from second to third is interesting until you get familiar with it.
