MGW Short Throw Shifter
 

Today I recieved my MGW short throw shifter. I was excited so I immediatley started the install. Everything was a breeze, untill i got the dust boot off. after removing it i see 2 1/2 words: Steeda Tri-Ax ....apparently the previous owner had installed it. I didnt care i still wanted my MGW short throw shifter in. UNfortunatley the previous owner silicone sealed the HELL out of it and me and a freind couldnt get it off. So I dont know what to do know, I'm thinking about just returning the MGW Shifter, and saving a couple hundred bucks...Or if one of you wants to buy it, i wont sell it very much cheaper than from the store, cus i could just return it. Or mabey i should take it somwhere to tae the Tri-Ax off? I dunno the Tri-ax is pretty good, and i dont think its worth it to replace it...but what do I know?

thats sux man.....

Why did u choose to switch out the Short shifter u already had though??

Might be interested in the MGW.

Yeah, why did you buy another if you already had one? Could you not tell you had some kind of short throw already? Anyways, if you are gonna sell it, how much would you sell it shipped to 75229? Thanks..

I dont think he knew he had a triax already. LOL, Id still switch out the triax and sell it for like 100 bucks. Just me though. And about the silione, just take a 2x4 under the car and tap on the shifter a little, itll pop right off. Just pull like hell.

Ive heard mixed reviews about the MGW, so in my taste id stay with the steeda tri-ax. You should just return the MGW and take a loss in shipping.

Yeah, I never would have thought i had a tri-ax...cus ive never driven another mustang besides mine b4, so i wouldnt know. I just dont know what to do...I dont think Id sell it unless some one can give me close to the return price plus shipping, i dunno...

If you put on the MGW piece then it will be used and steeda is used. Try to sell it for a little lost or trade for something you need.

Yeah Im trying to trade it for something I need...If that doesnt go well (i hope i find out in the next few days) I will see if i can return it...if not ill just save ti untill the time somes where i can sell/trade it at the perfect opportunity

Lookin for anything audio wise? I might be willing to trade that steeda tri-ax for like some 6.5 comps, power wire and ground, an 8inch sub, and whatever else audio stuff ive got laying around...

Nah man...just performace items, Thanks anyways though

did you try using a razor to cut the seam about half way so that if you pulled on the shifter, it would come right off ...

i say cut through half way so that you dont get any particles in the tranny

Good Idea! Mabey I will try that! Advance Warning: I might be selling a Steeda Tri-Ax shifter soon. ;)

buy the shifter gasket to save yourself from that problem again, and getting silicone in your trans.

Let us know which shifter feels better and is shorter,thanks.

Sitting in the garage :icon_thum

Definatley will :icon_salu

let me know what the tri-ax goes up for sale...might be interested in that if I can scoop it up for a good price.

Sure no prob. Ill probably install the MGW on Monday, and if that goes well, Ill let you know about the tri-ax

k, cool....

you should find a friend who just bought a tri-ax and get the receipt...then just send it back...

Whisper:DO IT

hahaha! That would be sweet, your just full of great ideas arent you? too bad all my freinds are lame and drive Jeeps and Trucks n stuff cus its "colorado"

DAMN, haha, it was worth a shot though..i have some friends like that...oh well, at least you will be able to sell it on here, so good luck with that

Thanks a bunch, and goodluck with your Vortech Mongoose kit...I want to do the Paxton one ;) thats why I need $$$$$$$$$

thanks, i will post pics soon..it is getting ordered next thursday :laughing5
im adding the 4" boost pipe...damn, i cant wait

nice...I'm not so fortunate i have to wait...3 years? :D

(jeesus this is quick fire posting)

haha..i saved it in 2 months :happy11: ...i got my scholarship back, so i am rewarding myself

Man that must be nice...whyd u choose the Vortech over the Paxton?

i didnt feel like waiting another week :happy11: ..

the reason is i want this as soon as possible, plus i have to spend another $300 to get a boost and fuel pressure gauge and matching a-pillar pod, then i am paying 550 to have the kit installed and tuned over at modular power house..whew

Crap I forgot about gauges ...(3 years and one month :cwm10: ) thats far from where you live, You gonna drive all the way up there?

it's 6 hours...it's going to be well worth it..nothing like having the person who put the kit together, tune it..damn, i cant wait

i forgot to add that i wanted to have everything put in before mustang week here in myrtle beach which is july25-31..
