Steeda Tri-ax or StangShifters Sport Shifter?

ndfrspd · January 11th, 2009, 01:16 PM

Im investing in a short throw shifter for my 98 GT, but I don't know which shifter to get. can someone point me in the right direction here? Heres the website: StangShifters.com - Steeda Tri-ax and Pro 5.0 short shifters

If you have a better place to order from for cheaper then throw it my way.

I'd go with a MGW short shifter. Everybody says that their better than both of the ones your looking at.
Here's their website

Of the two you've listed, I have one in my car (tri-ax) and I've never heard of the other one.

i have a tri-ax but that or an mgw will be fine

PapaSmurf · January 11th, 2009, 06:14 PM

I recomend the mgw

ndfrspd · January 11th, 2009, 07:19 PM

why the mgw... is it centered over 3rd gear like the Tri-ax?

yeah thats the best way i can describe it. the mgw just feels smoother to me. You cant go wrong with either one really. They are both really good but more people prefer mgw. I even know people who have switched from steeda to a mgw.

MGW all the way. I had a Steeda Tri-Ax on my old 2003 Gt and I thought it was great. Then when I got the 2003 Cobra I went with a MGW. The MGW is a much better shifter.
