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?

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.

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...

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

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
