I have had a pro50 and tri ax. Tri ax feels a lot better and less notchy than the pro50 to me. MGW has had great reviews i am sure it's a good shifter.

i can comment on the tri-ax and the mgw as i've had both. the tri-ax was notchy and a bit noisy, but was a decent shifter. the mgw is quiet and very direct. no missed 3rd gear.

For a T5 you cannot go wrong with either the Pro50 or MGW. For an 05+ there is not equal to the MGW.

I have owned a lot of shifters, my vote would be for the tri-ax with a 5.0 handle for a shorter throw, this was a really good setup for my t-5! just my two cents...

I've had quite a few. Best so far IMO is the Pro-Ripper then Tri-Ax. I've yet to try the MGW, but am curious. Everyone seems to like that one best.

mgw shifters and stock t-5s dont go together! LOL. mgw shifters are proably by far the best i dont think another shifter comes close. quality and craftsmanship are perfect. 302drop you remember the first time out after i put that shifter in my t-5 & i powershifted third gear at sac lol we loaded my car at the end of the track next to the ambulance. if you havent order one yet hit up skoony i bet he isnt using the one i sold him and its just sitting collecting dust.

I've had Hurst, Pro5.0, Steeda, and MGW

IMHO, MGW is several notches above the competition. It's a phenomenal shifter. I will never use any other on any of my cars.
