I now have the PRO 5.0 shifter installed and after a short test drive I immediately noticed a big difference in shift action.
There is less vagueness to the shifting with an assuring click-click during each gear change and engagement.
I do like the shifter over the stock, however I still find myself reaching for third. It appears the shifter is just lower, but continuing the "reach" for third and fifth gear. Also, I noticed engaging first gear, my knuckles are just about in contact with the driver's side console ridge that stick out on the either side the shifter (level with the radio controls - see attached pic).
I did a search on the 5.0 shifter and almost everyone installed the MGW handle.
Would this mod make the difference with the "reach" and "interference" short-comings I mentioned?
BTW, the pic below is not of my shifter. I borrowed a picture from someone else's post.
