Anyone with Steeda Tri Axe Shifter?
Anyone have pics of theirs installed? How does it shift? I have the hurst right now and its very clunky and hard to shift at high rpms, but i love the look of the hurst..i know the mgw is the i have heard but i found a really good deal on the steeda....unless someone wants to make a good deal on the mgw! 
Thanks
Thanks

It just depends what bushings come with the Tri-Ax you are considering purchasing. I got one of the older ones with red poly bushings and it transmits an absurb amount of NVH to the cabin.
The previous owner of my car had bought it, installed it and removed it because of the noise. He gave it to me when I bought the car. I thought, how bad could it be? Well I installed it and found out. Everything buzzed and rattled, including the floor pan.
I ended up using and extensive amount of dynomat in the cabin and between the shifter base and the floorpan. That reduced the NVH to a tolerable level, but it still bugs me some times, I've just gotten used to it.
Other than that, I like the shifter, you can customize the length of the throw and it's very stout.
In later verisons they replaced the poly bushings with some softer material (rubber?).

the steeda feels like a strong stock shifter, the throws even on there shortest are nothing close to the hurst, my bet is u hate it once u install it and wonder why u did the exchange. I went from steeda to the hurst and the hurst is a actual sts the steeda is more like just bullet proof strong but not very short at all.

I have one, I had Steeda put it in. I don't remember but I think they use the stock shifters bushings these days. I honestly can't remember. But I have zero problems with noise, vibrations etc. I love the thing. The Hurst and stock shifters are worthless.
