Default T5 short throw shifter

My stock shifter is missing its bushings so its moving around abunch. What is the best type of short throw for a 89 5.0 with a t5.

I have the steeda tri-ax and it's ok... I like it better than stock but it feels a little too notchy. I have been thinking about selling it and trying another. Maybe MGW, not sure though...

I have a Pro-5.0 and a Steeda shifter handle, and it's okay. I have heard so many things good about the MGW though and can't wait till I get the chance to try one out.

You can't go wrong with any of these shifters. The B&M is fine, I've used a Hurst Competition Plus, and put in a Pro 5.0 with Steeda Tri Ax handle in my brother's car, they're all great.

I went and checked out the pro 5.0 and it looks really good. They have them on ebay for about 170 new. Is that a good price?
