Which shifter to use?
 

What shifter do you guys prefer to use to shift the t56 transmission?

I have 3 cars with T56 trans and I run Pro5.0 in all of them,

I just received my MGW shifter. I haven't used it since I'm still building the car but it gets great reviews and it definitely has a high build quality.

FYI, MGW only sells direct.

^^^^ X1000 ... have used 5.0 in all my cars

Pro 5.0 is a little notchy and can transmit some noise inside the car.

Hurst are cheap and better than stock. B&M Ripper you can't remove the stick.

MGW is the best one I've ever used.

I went with the MGW from hearing such great reviews along ways from using it tho.:mad:

I bolted mine up to my transmission that's still sitting by itself, outside the car. Then I sat on my stool beside it and went through the gears while making "vroom vroom" noises. Seems to be working OK so far....:D

Car crazy are we lol.

Hmm I still have the Hurst shifter... maybe I need to look into the MGW.

I've tried the stock Tremec, White Lightning, and the first-gen Hurst Blackjack and now have the newer gen Hurst Magnum shifter. No complaints at all with the Hurst. Short tight positive throws and nicely machined with quality components.

Sieg, when did the latest gen Hurst come out? Just curious if that is the one I have. I bought my T56 from Hurst Drivelines in late 2011.

The initial run started shipping September 2013.

I bought a Core shifter with a 7.5" Hurst chrome stick and it has worked great since day one.

Yup, I have a Core Shifter as well, and have no issues. I went with them because I have a GTO T56 and they make a shifter to put it in the FBody location without changing the shifter cup.

Just for general information, you can get an MGW-P shifter from here that's already modified for the GTO: http://www.proxsestuning.com/apps/we...s/show/2196016

Darned expensive though. It's cheaper just to get the shifter cup if you want to go that way. I found that part for under $60 so my MGW, going onto my GTO transmission cost me $250 (5% forum discount). I was worried in might be a PITA to change the shifter cup but it literally took 5 minutes.

Pro 5.0 is the way to go.
