Pro 5.0 Short Shifter Install - Mustang LX

This is a Pro 5.0 install in a 1990 Mustang LX 5.0. Pretty straight forward. The only problem I ran into was having to take the entire center console out to get to two of the boot bolts. Got the shifter on CraigsList for $125. List price is like $190.

The shifter shifts so smooth. No problems what-so-ever. The only thing I've noticed is a whine sound that comes from it during a medium to hard acceleration. Don't know if its because of how I trimmed the rubber boot but that is what the directions say to do... Not really a problem, just noticeably louder. But well worth it.

I would absolutely recommend the Pro 5.0.

@ezzzstang1 Awesome dude, I had fun swapping this thing out and was amazed at how crappy the stock one was. Or should I say, how nice the PRO 5.0 was...

thank-you for the up-load, this helped me to make my decision on what shifter to use in my 82 Capri RS. it was a SROD, it crapped out (bad bearings) and I am using a T-5 from a 1986 RS and I have looked but you never get a up close look at them and you shot this Vid! thanks again and Thanks to eburt6 for the comparison from the Steeda!

Thanks for this upload. Had a PRO 5.0 in one of my mustangs, now i have a cobra with a steeda tri-ax and from what i can remember the PRO 5.0 felt 10x stronger.
