Tri-Ax, the mechanic at Ford said it had a nice strong feel.

Jimberg, that's the one......1)hate the shift knob 2)sloppy 3rd and 5th 3)just doesn't feel that "solid". I've heard everyone w/ Pro 5.0 and Tri-Ax rant and rave about them.

I broke 2 Hurst Competition Plus shifters, and one B&M Ripper. The Pro 5.0 is the only one that stands up to my abuse.

That's weird. I love mine. It didn't come with a shift knob, either. I have an aluminum shift knob from Steeda along with the Tri-ax shift handle. The shift handle is farther forward on a Tremec so the Tri-ax shift handle puts it in a better position for shifting.

I'm not saying that the Pro 5.0 isn't better. It probably is. I just don't think the Hurst Billet Plus is as bad as people make it out to be.
