Steeda tri-ax FTW

All shifters mentioned in this thread are a good bet though

this is the one i have, i love it but my last stang had a pro 5.0 and i also liked it, but from having both i like the tri ax better

ThreeHonks302 · July 16th, 2008, 12:59 AM

yes I have had a pro 5.0 too, but I liked the tri-ax better, I believe the tri-ax is a bit cheaper too

I've had good luck with B&M in both a T5 & T56.

I love my Tri-ax...it just slides right into third

1slo5.0 · July 16th, 2008, 01:52 AM

Pro 5.0 is a good one as is the Steeda Tri ax. The best shifter I've had is a Pro 5.0 base with a Tri ax handle. Hurst shifters are decent too but they are a bit harder to find 3rd gear with. B&M shifters work decent but the handles are a bit too tall for my liking.

flyin ryan · July 16th, 2008, 03:32 AM

I've had a few pro 5.0's and was very happy with them but right now im using a hurst billet plus or whatever it's called with a pro 5.0 handle and haven't missed a shift yet. I'd say all shifters mentioned in this thread are good enough to concider.. Don't buy an upr one though, total crap and i've been able to break a tri axe shifter before but was most likely my fault.

mxnate116 · July 16th, 2008, 03:48 AM

has anyone used the summit copy shifters?

i was looking at them wondering ifs its worth it to save some cash and get one.

blue90lx · July 16th, 2008, 03:56 AM

I have a pro 50 and love it. The others mentioned are great shifters also. Don't really know anything about the summit brand shifters

R0B0T · July 16th, 2008, 08:25 AM

i have a B&M and i like it, i wish i had a pro 5.0 though

jrh_1980 · July 16th, 2008, 09:46 AM

I took 2.5 inches off my B&M and threaded a t-handle hust knob on it and it is sweet. It fits me great.

jim@scc · July 16th, 2008, 09:28 PM

ya i ordered the steeda tri ax today but the guy was really pushy about the B&M ripper shifter though he said its better cuz its one piece but a removable handle seems more practicle when you gotta pull the trans

You will be much happier with the Steeda shifter I think.

06legend · July 17th, 2008, 03:22 PM

The Hurst is the best looking for old school and the tri-ax has the best spring action for third gear. Combine the two and you will rock.

Hunt_chevs · July 17th, 2008, 05:08 PM

ive had both the pro 5.0 and the tri ax,.. i like them both,.. tri-ax has a lil better spring action

White Thunder · July 17th, 2008, 05:42 PM
