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.

I wish they made those back when my car still had the T56 in it! Looks good. I'd like to see a photo of it on the shifter.
If you want a shorter stick on the Pro 5.0, you can cut at least an inch off the top of the stick, and still have enough threads to put the knob on. I did that with my Pro 5.0. Thread a nut on the shaft before you cut it, so the threads will clean up when you unscrew the nut.
I also found with the 5.0 that the bolts that hold the stick to the shifter would always vibrate loose. I ended up putting longer bolts in and double-nutting them.

My original shifter was a Hurst Comp+. I had Lou Salzano's Short Stick on it. I Found it was as short as it could possibly be, and still put the knob above the console. He has a picture of mine on his webstie:

I know he made one for the Pro 5.0 I don't even know if he is still in business, but here is his website:

At one point. I installed a line lock, and put the trigger switch on my shifter. It was too deap down in the console and hard to use. That's when I switched to the Pro 5.0, because it was a better shifter and had a longer stick.
