Short Throw Shifter

o3gtdgs · October 5th, 2006, 04:06 PM

im thinking about ordering a short throw shifter but dont know which one is the best i want it to be like the factory one as same figure not to short but that allows me to shift better and also let me know if is hard to to a self installation .

well i just put a pro 50 on yesterday and it took less than a half hour.its really one of the easiest mods and best ones.the pro 50 is real short but i love it and its really easy to power shift and im not worried about missing a gear anymore.

o3gtdgs · October 5th, 2006, 04:24 PM

yes i need one because sometimes i miss 2nd but how much you pay for it what a bout the steeda shifter

sonicblue · October 5th, 2006, 06:06 PM

i paid 199 from jegs cause they got the fastest free shipping i have found so far.i know you can get it for 170-180 if you look around.i heard good things about the steeda also but ive never used one.i heard its not as shortt as the pro 50 but its real smooth.ask mdvaldosta i am pretty sure he has that shifter.

mustangstud13 · October 5th, 2006, 06:46 PM

Go w/ Steeda tri-ax or Pro 5.0 and yeah JEGS is the best on delivery and has great prices.

mdvaldosta · October 5th, 2006, 06:56 PM

I love my Steeda Triax. The throws are not as short as a Pro5.0 but it's got a better feel.

03stanger · October 5th, 2006, 07:32 PM

i have the pro 5.0...prolly the shortest you can get...my buddy has the steeda tri ax and he loves it cause the handle is taller, more like stock but you get the shorter throw

I love my steeda tri-ax...

orangeRcode · October 6th, 2006, 09:52 AM

Love my Tri ax as well. I would suggest you get a gasket from CobraBob instead of using RTV when installing it. I used one and have very little vibration noise which is common with aftermarket shifters.

Drgnracin72 · October 6th, 2006, 10:51 AM

i also love my tri-ax

I paid 110 for the Summit Short Throw shifter and am content with it. Very short throw, easy install, and less expensive. (shockingly similar to B&M...hmmmmm.....) It was stiff when first installed but has since lossened up and feels great now. While you are in there you mine as well change your tranny fluid for good measure.

ChrisJ · October 8th, 2006, 05:28 AM

I would shoot for a tri-ax...

They are adjustable so if you want the lever lower you can adjust it to be as such...

gills99stang · October 8th, 2006, 06:18 AM

I have the Steeda tri-ax, I recommend it.

matrixpuba · October 8th, 2006, 08:18 AM

mgw ftw!!!

o3gtdgs · October 8th, 2006, 07:09 PM

thanks guys think i will be getting the steeda i see most of you got that one and are very happy with it any idea were can i get it for a good price.

sonicblue · October 8th, 2006, 07:17 PM

americanmuscle.com has them for 170 free shipping

silver02gt · October 9th, 2006, 04:24 PM

I have the MGW and i love it. shortest throw out there and perfect clean shifts. easy install too.

acmillr · October 9th, 2006, 05:26 PM

I just put a hurst short throw shifter in my 03- I also got the hurst classic shift lever with the T-handle and rubber accordian boot. This thing looks slick and shifts even slicker. I would recommend this setup to anyone.

BTW: 03gtdgs, I will be shipping your shifter knob Tues. morning...

o3gtdgs · October 9th, 2006, 11:15 PM
