I have a 2004 mustang gt and I want to get a new shifter. It is a 5spd and I was wondering if I can put it in by removing the boot and there is 8 allen screws around the boot at its base. Are they removeable? Is this an easy job?

I don't have any mechanical skills at all and I put a steeda tri-ax in my stang. You might run into a little trouble and frustration after you get all the scews out and have to pry off the old shifter. It took me a while to pry it off, but other than that it was pretty easy.

 

Shifter install is VERY easy, I did mine in less than an hour. If you do some searching on the internet there are some nice instructions w/ pictures.

I install a Tri-Ax and the instructions that came with it were also very good.

 

Why do they call it a tri-ax shifter? does it shift any different than a stock shifter?

 

I think Tri-ax is just the name of their line of shifters.

It still shifts like the stock shifter, but it is a short throw shifter (like all aftermarket shifters). The Tri-ax is adjustable, so you can adjust the amount of throw you want. When I installed mine I left it on the longer throw for awhile and then switched it shorter, it is all a matter of preference. It is also a LOT quicker to shift between gears and is a lot firmer. The stock shifter is rather spongy.

I have not used any of the other shifters on the market, I had just heard really good things about the Steeda so that is what I went with. If you are in a club, you might ask others to see what they like and if you can drive their cars (yea I know fat chance!! )

 

Thanks man...
