Diabolical!

With probably around 100 runs at the drag strip on the MGW, I've yet to miss a powershift.

when you shift from 2 to 3......does it lock out the other gears? so that you can't miss 3rd?

They're not locked out, but you'd have to be the worst shifter of all time to hit 1st or 5th from 2nd with the MGW.

The Steeda Tri-Ax will give you one of the best 2-3 shift in the business.

Here is a write up from 5.0 magazine:
The Steeda Tri-Ax is like steroids for the stock shifter mechanism. It amplifies what's already there by bestowing shorter throws and more feel without throwing the stock shifter's NVH out the window," Steve said. "In short, it's just what the shift doctor ordered for the preponderance of street 'Stang owners."

Steeda has determind that the 20% throw is ideal for the driver, the transmission and ultimately for not missing a gear. Our shifter gives you the confidence that when you shift from 2nd to 3rd gear that you will hit the correct gear as opposed to having a gummy feeling and shifting back into 1st , into 5th, or just missing a shift. Our shifter has crossed the finish line in first place more times than the competition and that is something we are proud of.

Just wanted to give you another option

The MGW shifter is best all around shifter on the market. I don't know why I waited so long to get one.

The bracket itself is a good option, and cleans up the things that bother people about the stock shifter. The only thing it doesn't do is reduce the throw and give you that "I know what gear I'm in" feeling. It'll feel crisp, a little smoother - but not as short throw or as smooth operation as it could be. That's why I recommend doing both.

With the pair, you're getting the crisp, responsive engagement that you want, while shortening throw and smoothing out the shift-action quite a bit. Both parts are important, and both make a difference. There's a long thread on TheMustangSource where quite a few guys installed our shifters with aftermarket bushings and love the difference. Their reviews all say the same... basically, "throw reduction is 1-1.5 inches, it's notchy (but still smooth), easier to get in and out of gear, it should have come from the factory like this!"

When you drive your car, throttle response and shifting (for a manual) are the two noticeable things that the driver feels 100% of the time. You can argue many other things like gearing, handling, braking - but the two things the driver does the most is shift and hit the gas. With both of these added, it's not something you notice once. You use it all the time!

Our package on both of those is $230 (or cheaper with your forums discount), but something you'll take advantage of every time you get into the drivers seat.

Hit us up if you have any questions at all!

This is private labeled for us, right here in the US. It's a great shifter at a ridiculous value. The reviews have been extremely positive, and I think you'll see that the quality of the shifter is VERY good, especially being at such a low price point for what it does (reduces throw by 25-30%, reduces the shifter height by .5", isolates vibration, etc.). It still retains the factory reverse lockout, and we've yet to receive negative feedback on this shifter.

If you're looking for something that is bullet-proof, aircraft billet aluminum or full adjustability, we also sell those (Barton, Hurst, etc.) - but at a higher price point. We recently installed both the Hurst Billet Plus 2 short throw and the Barton short throw shifter and bracket on our 2012 Mustang GT, Project Blackout. We ran them both at the track for a few weeks at a time, and honestly - other than the reverse lockout difference - they both held up to abuse, shifted smooth and firm and I couldn't find a clear-cut "better" shifter.

We have customer submitted images and reviews on the product pages for all 3 of those products, as well as video. Spend some time looking through them and see what you think!

Hope this helps, hit me up for the forum discount before you place any orders, so I can save you a few bucks!
