Question 4.6 Short Throw Question

I have a 2000 GT, with the stock shifter. The shifts seem ridiculously long, for the money what is the best short throw shifter to get? Thanks.

The Steeda Tri Ax is a big improvement over the stock unit on a Tremec 3650. (Your 2000 may have a T45).

A TR3650 has internal shift stops and you should not use the shift stops on any aftermarket shifter. (Confirmed via telephone with a Tremec engineer and Mustang Bullitt and Mach 1 program manager Scott Hoag.)

ill always recommend MGW. A little expensive but the quality and smoothness of the shifts are awesome.

SR Performance? I guess that's American Muscle's house brand. Compare the photo with Steeda's Tri Ax and tell me the Tri Ax isn't worth $20 more (or MGW for a few more $$). American Muscle describes the SR Performance shifter as "billet aluminum" when it's obvious the handle - including the lower part which engages the transmission - is not aluminum.



You get what you pay for.

If its a 2000, shouldn't you have a t-45? Also Stack Racing seems to make some really good parts for the price. Now, I have the steed tri-ax and its amazing but its the only one I've used. I'd honestly only get the steeda or MGW if I were you.

Just checked out the Steeda, looks much better than the SR. Just from reading the reviews I'll probably go with the Steeda!

I was in the same boat you were. After reading some of the SR reviews I quickly decided to go with the MGW shifter haha.

Make sure you are getting the right shifter though. I almost ordered one for the t45..

I have the MGW and like it. I haven't tried others to compare but it is definitely a lot shorter than the stock shifter.

We have had a lot of success with our shifter ... many try to imitate ... but there is only one true Tri Ax Shifter.

You can check out one of many of the articles that was written about our Tri Ax shifter here:

http://www.mustang50magazine.com/tec...rd_mustang_gt/

or here:

http://www.mustangmonthly.com/howto/...ri_ax_shifter/

There are many great reviews on line and from other forum members. Our shifter is made in the U.S.A. by the American Worker under ISO 9001-2008 standards. You won't be disappointed in the quality and fit of the product.


Send me an email to tim @ steeda.com if I can help you with placing an order.

Best Regards,

TJ
