RE: Diff between Hurst and Steeda Tri-ax?
The Hurst is a POS compaired to the Steeda. The hurst is mad out of the same cheap hollow steel that the stock shifter came with. I had both, and the Hurst is a big waste of money, if you like the feel of the hurst just buy a Saleen shifter adapter and it's the same thing as the husrt for 40 bucks. I now have the Steeda and I wouldn't use any thing else. Plus the Steeda shifter was the first shifter out on the market for the 05 and up stangs, all the kinks are worked out. I believe Hurst isn't make the comp plus shifter anymore due to a revised newer model to replace the pile of junk it was before. You do get what you pay for
The Steeda shifter is also fully adjustable and the Hurst isn't.

A picture is worth 1,000 words they say.
The design is identical, the hurst just comes with better bushings and a shorter throw. Originally I figured the Hurst would do the job perfectly for me. It looks amazing, sits a little higher then stock, and has a shorter throw. Somewhere along the line luck intervened and Hurst decided to go back to the drawing board and redesign. Thus no more shifters for sale. I was left with the Tri-ax, and after comparing the Tri-ax to the Stock shifter the quality is very apparant.
Steeda no longer offers the front bushing with the Tri-ax, something about too much noise or vibration complained via customers. So they recommend using the old bushing, and so far so good. No noises.(Only day 2 though.)
With that being said the installation isn't all that difficult. It just requires some patience. There isn't that much to do to get it in and out. A total of 4 bolts (including the bolt to the shifter linkage) Personally I like doing things on my own. I like working on my car, and that way if something happens it was my fault. I also don't like spending mod-money to pay someone else, but if you aren't capable or have the money to spend... then pay someone all you want.

I've had my Hurst for about a month and love it. The throws are great... even though it is higher than stock, it is comfortable... install took me about an hour with jackstands by myself.

RE: Diff between Hurst and Steeda Tri-ax?
I've had both too.... the Hurst felt like I was moving through a box of gravel. The Steeda is smooth, short, and very positive going in gears. I have yet to miss a shift with it.
