Here's the skinny on the shifters. Although I've never owned or driven a Pro 5.0, they're steel, have "overshift protection" and they're awesome. The Tri-Ax unit it forged aluminum, with overshift protectors. Last year when I slammed my stock shifter into 3rd, well actually inbetween 3rd and 5th, I bent the crap outta the shifter. I bought a Tri-Ax and have been hammering on it since, with ZERO complaints or problems.

The overshift adjustments keeps you from moving the shifter too far in the heat of battle. Very easy to seriously mess up your tranny if you do that. The increased noise comes from the fact that there is an isolator on the stock shifters, just for that reason. Unfotunately this also gives the shifter a little sloppy feel as well. The aftermarket units are solid mounted to the trans, no isolators, more noise, better feel. A sacrafice I'm willing to make.

Either way, you can't go wrong. They're both top notch!
