whats the best short throw?

I'm again digging up an old topic for some more current opinions/feedback.

I actually called and spoke to Hurst (B&M) today regarding the rattling on their shifters from a few years back. They told me a "vibration kit" is now included with their set-up i.e dynamat, loc-tite, etc . They also told me it was a Ford issue on how the transmission is installed/designed. Not sure what to think about that. I love the look of the Hurst and actually dig the notch-shift feel and sound.....but am scared of an annoying rattle.

The Pro 5.0 with the Hurst stick sounds intriguing.

How about some current opinions/experiences?

Thanks again in advance.

I have been running a Pro 5.0 with Hurst handle for a couple years now and still love it! Nice retro look in the car and it shifts great.

Those comments from Hurst are great!! Instead of designing a shifter that will work "rattle-free", they just blame Ford's tranny/shifter design. Sounds like their rattle kit is just something to mask the problem and not address it!

Do you remember where you got the shifter stick, knob/ball and boot collar? I found the shifter stick and knob/ball on Summit.....but the boot collar is a mystery.

MGW FTW!

Still running the Pro 5.0 and loving it. I can't see me changing the shifter until I go with a 6 speed.

I am using a Bullitt boot, so the grommet is not needed. The Hurst p/n for the grommet is 114-0015 and available from Summit.

I ran the Pro 5.0. I sold it and got the newer style MGW. Both were great shifters. The Pro 5.0 was louder. The MGW was quieter and smoother. Both were great for banging gears at the track. I preferred the MGW for me.
