Has anyone out there tried a B&M ripper shifter on there T5 in a pinto. Just got my T5 in and was thinking about getting one of these to improve the shifting and give me a shorter throw on the shifts. Jegs and Summit both sell them.
I bought a racer walsh for my car when it had the stock engine and trans in it and it made all the differnce in the world. I was hoping this might do the same thing for the T5. :fastcar:
I don't have a Ripper but I do have a Pro-5o on my T-5 and it works great. real solid feel and positive engagement in all the gears. I would recommend it.
I don't have a Ripper either but I am running a Tri-ax in one of my Mustangs and a Hurst in the other. Both work great, the Hurst has a shorter throw but sometimes does not want to go into reverse easily. I think any aftermarket shifter would be better than the stock shifter. FYI, the SVO and Turbo Coupe T-5's came from the factory with Hurst shifters.
