i seem to miss third gear quite often when racing. especially against camaros! must be an inexperience thing. looking to buy a shifter, but which one do i get? its a 97 cobra with a t45 i believe.

 

My personal preference is the Steeda Tri-ax. But most people are going to tell you to get MGW.

 

Hurst FTW! Really most shifters on the market are extremely similar so buy one that puts the **** where you want it.

 

won't matter... steeda, upr, blah blah. The only one a little different is the MGW. Get a tri-ax if you can't decide. At least there's not a worst thing to be had in this category.

Make sure you get one that's spring centered on the 3-4 line. Cleans up that whole 3rd shift thing.

 

I used the Tri-Ax in 2 of my stangs and really liked it. People swear by the MGW so maybe try it. If cost is an issue you might be able to find a used
Tri-Ax on one of the stang sites.

 

MGW. its just the best out there...best made...best materials...so on and so on. It costs a little more than the others...but...you get what u pay for and its worth it because its one of the few things in your car you touch and use EVERY time you drive...its worth it to have the best.

 

wHat?

 

They are all way better then stock. You can't go wrong.

 

pro5.0 or MGW.

MGW is nicer. Its what I call the fancy shifter. Where pro5.0 is the shifter thats got a mission. Shifts hard and perfect, but aint all that fancy...

 

not the best guy to search the interent. was able to find plenty of steeda triax shifters, but any1 know where i can find the mgw

 

AmericanMuscle.com

He's not going to find the MGW one there but good try.

Here's the mgw website:

sems like 9 of 10 say mgw. only 10 bucks more than steeda so i need no more thought. thanks guys. i noww get 2 use it for about 2 weeks b4 the snow

 

I like the pro5.0 more then the MGW...

 

Can you install a new shifter yourself?

 

yes... it's easier than falling down.

 

yes, it's pretty easy. I've done it a few times and the hardest part can be breaking the seal of the stock shifter in order to pull it off. The seal on my GT wasn't to tough, but the seal on my Mach was a bitch to break. Give it a shot, it's pretty easy.

 

alright cool I think I might ask santa for a new short throw shifter for christmas
