I really like my Pro 5.0 shifter. The shifts are extremely short with adjustable stops and 2nd to 3rd is perfect.

What do you mean it will let dirt in? You are supposed to use silicone on the bottom of the shifter to keep dirt/elements out.
You set them sort of far out, then keep tightening them until you can shift into gear without going to the top or bottom the gear. This ensures that when you shift as hard as possible it hits the stop and lands in the perfect spot without overshifting.

If you tighten it too much , you wont be able to get into gear, too much and its like the stop isnt helping.
