i've got a pro 5.0 shifter on my t-56. does anybody know the thread size on that shaft. also, does lou's short stick have the same size thread? i'm thinking it does. but i want to know what size thread so i can figure out what shift knob i want. i love the classic white ball shifters. got a hammerhead now, kinda getting tired of it.

yeah i thought about a pistol grip. i'm sure they are comfortable to use but i want something as low as possible to get a shorter shift. if i got a pistol grip i'd prob get lazy and just rest my hand on the top and shift it like that. i bet it makes u feel like ur drivin an old hemi with the pistol grip though

i have already cut a little off the top of the shifter stick. made a pretty big difference actually. i've also heard of a shift stick called "lou's short stick." i heard its really nice and makes for great shifter location and nice short throws? anyone ever used one of these? i'd like to get one if anyone has one for sale even.

heres a pic of the new shifter installed. i like it alot, and it lowers the shifter down cause the threads go pretty deep into the knob.
