steeda shifter

adam0421 · March 4th, 2007, 10:31 PM

anyone know where to find a tri ax for less than 260. that's the cheapest I could find. seems pretty steep to me.

MustangMatt96GT · March 4th, 2007, 10:48 PM

It is definatly worth it! But 260, is way expensive! Direct from steeda its only like 170. here is from american muscle for 169.99 with free shipping!

Sorry I forgot this was for an S197! But I still feel that it would be worth it!

yes it is worth it. i love mine and never miss 3rd and i can jam the gears as hard as i want all day

Stkjock · March 5th, 2007, 12:35 PM

i have the Steeda sport shifter... only about 200 miles with it .... but has been great... and it's about $100-125 less then the tri-ax

+1.

Totally worth the money. If I had to pick the one weak spot on my car as it sits stock, it would be the shifter. I'm sure we all know about the 3rd gear woes with the stock shifter.

Luis_GT · March 5th, 2007, 02:41 PM

What is the problem with the 3rd gear on the stock shifter? I've slammed my gears to hell and back for the last 2200 miles and haven't had any problems... hell 3rd has always landed itself, Maybe I got lucky

TheUNZippee! · March 5th, 2007, 02:44 PM

Maybe. Give that a shot while power shifting and tell me how ya feel. lol
3rd can be a bitch to find with the factory shifter when rowing the gears hard, especially if you try to pick up 3rd while cornering.

Luis_GT · March 5th, 2007, 02:54 PM

I don't wanna bust my tranny, you mad

... for me Third is the easiest shift aside from 1st to 2nd and 3rd to 4th... I kinda just controll it by the way it pulls to the center. And, well, I drive twisties all day so I'm constantly shifting on corners... its fun.

TheUNZippee! · March 5th, 2007, 02:57 PM

Trust me, when you get slamming it hard, 3rd can become a bitch. Although it's possible your car behaves better than others.

Luis_GT · March 5th, 2007, 03:00 PM

I gess, you respect the car, the car respects you... I babyed it for the first 1000 miles, after that I've been slaming gears @ 5800 RPMS

TheUNZippee! · March 5th, 2007, 03:10 PM

You say you have 2000 miles on your car? If so, maybe you will start seeing your shifter flub the occasional 3rd gear. If not, perhaps your car doesn't act up as much as some of them do.
Most of us respect our cars plenty. But there is no doubt that an aftermarket shifter is far better than the factory piece.

Luis_GT · March 5th, 2007, 03:15 PM

I know, I'm thinking of an aftermarket shifter, but for now, I'm consentrating more on performance... since I can barely buy anything right now... and one question though, can the shortshifter use the stock knob... I kinda like it.

TheUNZippee! · March 5th, 2007, 03:21 PM

Yep, it sure can Luis.

Luis_GT · March 5th, 2007, 03:22 PM

Thanks, that was my main consern since all shortshifters i've seen have a different knob which had kept me away.

TheUNZippee! · March 5th, 2007, 03:46 PM

Yup, just make sure when you purchase a shifter that you verify it can use your factory knob. Most shifters I have seen allow you to use your factory one, or the after market one.

Stkjock · March 5th, 2007, 10:18 PM

used my stock knob on the Steeda sport... but I want to swap it!! like the old school white ball!!!

FireryDriver · March 6th, 2007, 03:42 AM

yeah well I definately have had some third gear shifts that just went to shit. I've been driving manual for a long time and just sometimes when I'm shifting really fast through the gears third slips and it makes a nice grinding noise haha. It doesn't happen all the time but every now and then so I definately want to get a new shifter. I didn't have any problems with this until like 4 or 5k miles on my car so let me know if your car is still running fine around then
