i had a pro 5.0 on my t-45 and i replaced it with a steeda tri-ax. not a HUGE difference, but it's definitely noticeable. the tri-ax is firmer but it's a little bit noisier. overall i like the tri-ax better, but i don't have any problems with the pro 5.0. my pro 5.0 is for sale in the classifieds section if you're interested

It is def shorter, but still can't tell if it is an actual shifter or not. It only takes 5 minutes to remove the boot. Start yankin son!!!!!!!!

HorsepoweR · June 12th, 2009, 11:25 PM

alright i will check it out tomorrow since i got nothing else to do but remove tint...blaah.

HorsepoweR · June 13th, 2009, 10:10 PM

well thats as far as I could go, i couldnt get the rubber boot off cuz the bolts were tight as shit, anyways i didnt see any logo stamped anywhere so im guessing it is stock? o and the top left bolt was not even in close to all the way and still stuck, it looked like shit in there like ts been fucked with by a someone very sloppy.

That's at least not the stock shift lever. The stocker has this big, obnoxious bushing, not the nice clean bolts we're seeing in that picture. The base doesn't look stock to me, either, but it doesn't look like my tri-ax. Maybe someone else will be able to chime in that recognizes it.

To remove that inner boot, I *think* it's 8mm - you pull the 4 bolts on the gold/bronze ring and you'll be able to see the base.

It doesn't look stock to me,just look in side by the rip on the boot that's on the middle picture,you should be able to tell if it's stock or not.

take the shifter ball off and pop the leather boot of, takes 30 seconds

edit: dam nevermind

I bought my mach 1 with the MGW in it, do not know what the stock one feels like. I've never had any other brands in the mach, so I wouldn't know what other ones are good.

ReverendDexter · June 14th, 2009, 06:11 PM

I can say that's DEFINITELY not an MGW, though.
