    New shifter installed. Pro 5.0 report

    I installed the new Pro 5.0 in my 66 with TKO600 tranny.  I did not use the adjustable shifter stop bolts. They interfered with the rubber lower boot.

    Results:
    Easier to find gears
    Shorter throws
    Actually goes in gear easier
    I like it

    Thanks for all those who recommended it.

    I wound up using a Spec Stage 1 clutch. It is, so far, smooth in engagement. I have not put it to the holding test since I only have 80 miles on it so far. Pedal effort increased drastically, so I am not happy about that aspect.  Let’s hope it lasts longer than the previous McLeod.

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.
