JHR SHORT THROW SHIFTER W/BRACKET for 5.0 and V6
Ill start off by saying I am in no way affiliated with this company I simply admire theyre product.
Price with shifter, handle, and bracket is $215! Should be more.
I drove a 5.0 today with this shifter and it was absolutely awesome! You literally couldn't miss a gear if you tried. 2nd to 3rd is a breeze. No more deflection like stock shifter. They not only make the shifter itself but they also make a nice bracket made of billet aluminum and a delrin bushing. Super high quality product. I didn't notice any more NVH and this shifter. Also it sits one inch higher then the factory shifter and 1 inch further back, helping aid effortless easy shifts. It is not too notchy like other shifters I have felt , but not at all soft and floaty like stock.Id say firm to be precise. Ive also tried steeda's tri-ax and it was a nice piece as well but I personally like this one more. The 20% reduction in throw I feel is perfect for this car. I am having this shifter along with the bracket and shift handle put on my car. Without a moments hesitation.
Heres a link to the shifter with handle. And a link for the bracket.

Thanks for the post.
I've never heard of these guys, but it looks like a nice unit, and you can't beat that price!
Don't care for the **** though, but it's available without. Would be nice to see a pic of it installed. Wonder how it would fit with the stock boot and a Grabber Pony adapter and ball.
I'm waiting on MGW to release theirs to decide, but this might tempt me.

Prices seems awesome. I went with the Barton industries unit and am very happy. It costs a bit more, but seeing all of the positive reviews gave me peace of mind with my purchase. I'd be curious to see how the review for this unit come in.

Does this still have the reverse lockout? Does it have a heavier centering spring?
Looking at the pics I thought it would need a longer adapter to work with a round **** because of the added lever length.
The "grabber" style adaptors look to rest on top of the cylindrical base of the handle the other shifters all have. Not sure on that though.

Has reverse lockout but the tab for it is made of delrin plastic and a guy posted on AFM that the reverse tab broke off in less than one day and he sent it back to JHR and they refunded his money and are sending him a new one for free.
Don't know if they are going to change the material the lockout tab is made of or not but they are looking into it.

Hope they get this sorted out as the price is a knock out . I myself went with the Barton set up and am pleased with it so far once it is installed its very solid. Now i am just waiting for the custom pistolgrip type handle to give me a lil more height to the shifter
Looks good though

Don't know why they couldn't just make the tab out of whatever material the oem is made from.

According to Adam at JHR he said they we're going to make it out of steel but the factory lockout gate is alum so it would eventually wear it out rubbing against it all the time as you shift into first&second gears. JHR is going to keep me updated on the issue they should have the shifter on monday so I'll keep you guys in the loop.
