Default RE: Giving up on shifter *****.

This makes me think about looking for a new shifter **** in April, when I go to the Good Guys car show. There's a vendor who's there every year who has MoonEyes/SoCalSpeedShop products, and they've also got every kind of shift **** you could think of, with the universal thread inserts to fit Hurst, stock threads, etc. for pretty much every muscle car out there.

I might have to take a look and see if there's anything slick that I like the look of for when I get a short shifter.

My Steeda billet cylindrical shift **** arrived this morning. I love it! It looks great, and it is the perfect size. It's nice to have my tri-ax complete. Here are some pics of it installed. BTW, the tri-ax handle is in it's highest position. (it has two height positions)

I've been following your shifter woes posts for the past few months - glad you finally seem to have one that is working out for you. I really like the look of that shifter **** with your car's interior.

Stock is 12x1.25...I have the Tri-Ax shifter and the stock **** fits it. That means the tri-ax is 12x1.25 also. Any **** that is 12x1.25 should fit. The math works for me.

It looks nice, but I personally couldn't find that comfortable. I'd feel like I was gripping a "third leg", if you know what I mean. But it looks good.

Careful with the threads. My tri-ax is threaded 12x1.75, but my stock **** is 12x1.25. The steeda **** I got is threaded 12x1.75. Someone told me that Steeda started making the Tri-ax sticks with the S95 (12x1.75) threads instead of the S197 (12x1.25) threads. Best bet is to call the company you will order from and MAKE THEM INSPECT THE PRODUCT PERSONALLY.

Thanks for the compliments. I like the way it looks with my interior.

Glad you finally have the shifter situation to your liking after all this trouble.
Not to pock a stick at the wound but, you have to be the unluckiest one here with the shifter situation and all.[8D]
You're done now and it looks good.

I swear i saw that **** on the Sue Johanson show the other night.
