I've had mgw, steeda tri-ax, and hurst.
tri-ax felt the most positive and was easiest to shift, but really noisy.
mgw has an adjustable angle and similar feel to the tri-ax, but 80% less gear noise from the trans gets transmitted.
hurst I did not like the feel.

Pro 5.0, I didn't like MGW, B&M Ripper was surprisingly nice as well but I'd go with the Pro 5.0

Yellow94GT never touched anyone's sig or banned anyone, so I'm going to quit spreading that rumor. It's not like I have any proof anyways. All yellow94gt and other mods have done is volunteer their time to help other people buy/sell parts, learn how to make their cars go faster and meet fellow enthusiasts. I'm a hater, but it's hard to hate on these facts. I have saved hunrdeds, maybe thousands of dollars here buying and selling parts over the years alone, but I don't care, this website owes me damnit, and I'll piss on it as much as I want. Us haters gonna hate. Why contribute to something when you can take for free?
I act like I'm@Age15
I make friends on the internet that are@Age18

My internet friends and I ALL just got the boot for good!@Age31
Yes, you read it right, 31 and just as childish as my fresh out of highschool internet friends@31
Oh yeah, this isn't my website, so no one has to ask for my permission to change my sig. Hell, not like I pay the CAFORDS bill, so why should they need my permission to put what they want on their site? We're all guests here. Maybe some of us should start acting like guests or leave?

My Steeda Tri-Ax is pretty good, it's not as short-throw as the others. But MGW seems to be the best.

All things considered....
Tri-ax with handle on top bolt holes, with a Mach 1 knob. Done!
If it's going in a 3650/56, be sure and remove the stops. T5/T45, make sure they're adjusted correctly.

I've had Hurst Competition, Pro5.0, and MGW.
The Pro5.0 felt solid. It gave me the most confidence to bang gears out of the three. I would never miss shifts with this thing, but that is partly attributed to good clutch cable set-up, proper adjustment, and a transmission that was in good shape.
The MGW is the highest quality imho. It's extremely quiet and feels tight.
Also, if you have noise and vibration, it's often not the shifter, but rather poorly adjusted stops and/or a transmission that has seen better days.
The Hurst was a big improvement over stock, but it doesn't hold a torch to the other 2.

I had a Pro5.0 and a Triax that were nice, I loved my B&M Ripper, the Hurst I had was poop. I'd say hands down the B&M was my favorite but I never had the MGW.
