Installed a Steeda Tri-ax
 
Yeah, I bought a used steeda triax on modular depot. I like my stock shifter alot better. It just doesnt feel right and now I remember why I havent sprung for one since ive owned the car. Im going to leave it on for about a week and if my opinion is the same, ill put it up for sale. I had the steeda shifter bushing on my stock shifter and it was perfect. I had no play and slack in the shifter and Im SUPER quick with shifting that.

I agree...I LOVE my MGW....butter smooth...whisper quiet and perfect length shifts...adjustable as well...VERY worth the $$ IMO.

give it a few days you will see whats up. Did you put the handle all the way down that gives the shorties and best shifts. i like mine but took me a good 5 days to think so cause i wasnt used to it..

MattJ 06-15-2006 09:52 PM

I bought mine used, thats the only reason I went with it. And yeah its on the shortest. Im thinking I like it a little better. An 05 mineral grey GT tried toying with me untill i let them pipes start rumblin and he backed off. i was waiting to deliver an asswhoopin. I love the sounds of my car along a solid wall of brick buildings for one block. it echos and just sounds so sweet but that has nothing to do with my new triax!

spike_africa 06-16-2006 06:51 AM

lol no it doesnt. But like i said give it a few days they are weird to you cause your used to the stock long ass shifts. You will love it soon enough. I took mine to the track 2 days after putting it on and it was sooo much better. I can powershift alot better with this then with the stock one.

yea either something is wrong with ur shifter or your crazy- the tri-ax is bad ass i loved from the first moment - it takes a while to get used to - but its alot firmer than stock and the throw is really short - adjust your bump stops properly - but I love my used tri-ax i got for 80 bucks delivered

Yeah I paid 80 shipped for mine too. Im actually liking it. I just wasnt used to it at first thats why I wasnt sure. Everything is installed correctly and my bumps are installed right too.

I had one for 2 years and missed more shifts with it than Ive ever missed with my stock shifter. I didnt like mine to be honest and it was a welcome change when I went back to stock. Id have to drive an MGW to decide on it, but right now, I love my stocker.

zigzaggthefag321 06-17-2006 07:34 AM

I said it before and I'll say it again...I have had short shifters in every stick car I have had and the MGW is far and above the BEST out there.

I'm happy with my pro5.0

spike_africa 06-17-2006 06:39 PM

OH Y GOD MGW FOR THE WIN AND NX and every thing else too!

matrixpuba 06-18-2006 04:23 AM

i was never a fan of the steeda shifter. i did like the pro 5.0 but the mgw was better imo

I've got a Steeda Tri-ax on mine and I absolutely love it. But then again I've never had another aftermarket shifter.....

I have a tri-ax on my 99, wife likes it, I don't. I had a Roush on my 04, before the T56 swap. Loved it! Now I have stock lower with the Roush handle and bushings. Fit is great the shifts need to be a little shorter so I'm looking for a new one for it, but will reuse the Rouse handle.

Shifters are over-rated!

haha miss shifts? u must be bad at it then...my buddy and I put one on his GT and it is amazing...u can virtually never miss a gear...u just have to put more muscle on it because its spring loaded to not miss 3rd...
