mattrotten · November 19th, 2011, 11:28 PM

Just wondering if any1 has/had that no name short shifter americanmuscle.com has? its the cheaper 1 for like $140. Looks good, but lemme kno

southfour! · November 19th, 2011, 11:30 PM

when i bought mine it was like $79 or something

but stay away from it IMO

mine broke twice and shifted sloppyy

i now have an MGW which shifts smooth and firm and doesnt have side to side play when in gear like the AM one did

mattrotten · November 19th, 2011, 11:46 PM

wow really?? damn that sux. thanx man

Cabikejumper · November 20th, 2011, 02:09 AM

I wouldn't cheap out on shifters. Tend to break easy.

obZen · November 20th, 2011, 02:16 AM

POS is all I got to say.

Save up and get a good one. I have the pro50 power tower and I love it. It has been impossible to miss 3rd.

id bet its stack racing, thats like am's generic brand, and imo stack racing is fucking terrible quality.

mattrotten · November 20th, 2011, 03:51 PM

wow great help guys. i was really gonna buy this in like a week. so glad i didnt. big help thanx fellas

ReverendDexter · November 20th, 2011, 04:00 PM

Yeah, the other issue with it is that it's almost certainly made overseas... the big three shifters (MGW, Tri-Ax, Pro-5.0) are all made here.

mattrotten · November 20th, 2011, 04:02 PM

Not in my opinon, lol.

Black2vConvertible · November 21st, 2011, 11:50 AM

I bought and installed a triax about a month ago?

I like it! takes 10-15 min's to install, Has a nice solid feel to it and was a huge improvement over the factory shifter. I know some say MGW over Steeda or pro5.0 but honestly either of them will work great for you! I tried the MGW and felt just as good (or vice versa) as the steeda.

if you want to be really cheap about it... you could buy the steeda handle which is like a 1/4-1/3 of the length of the factory shift handle... lol... but trust me, just spend the money on steeda, pro5,0 or MGW and just be done with it!!

mattrotten · November 21st, 2011, 03:51 PM

good lookin out fellas. big help

ZenMGT · November 21st, 2011, 04:03 PM

I'll rep UPR's blue thunder shifter.

Bought mine used with lots of miles on it, still felt firm and crisp. Love it.

...just bought a UPR o/r X from them today too

995SPDGT · November 21st, 2011, 04:55 PM

I have the American Muscle shifter, and it sucks. The ring around the shifter is always coming loose, and giving me problems down shifting into second. Its got a throw to it, but I'd personally save up and get a good shifter.

thereal2v2fear · November 21st, 2011, 05:11 PM

Mgw ftmw. I had a tri ax and ehhh it was ok.
