another one for MGW. I've driven my friends stang that has a pro 5.0 and kinda feels a little wimpy compared to the MGW.

look on the sticker in you drivers side door panale under trans and if you have the letter k, then you have the t3650, if you have some other letter then you have the t45.

I can honestly say that i wasn't impressed with the mgw shifter. I drove my friends gt with the mgw and it wasn't really that much better than my pro5.0. If someone gave it to me i'd put it on my car, but i wouldn't buy, because its not all that...plus i got my pro5.0 for $75...

If I were to do it again, it would be an MGW.

my freind has a Mach 1 with a tri-ax and i have a MGW and i have to say that the MGW is the better shifter out of the 2, it feels much more precise and smoother.

My friend put the B&M Pro Ripper in my car and I really like it. It's so much tighter than the stock and the throw is real short, no noise..nothin. I have not used any other shifter, but that is my reccomendation
