Default New shifter

Okay. I have come to the conclusion that my daily (and hard) driving is highly affected by the notoriously bad shifter in stock Mustang GT's. I came to this realization yesterday while racing my friend in his Sentra Spec-V; my third gear grinded like hell. [sm=lame.gif] And even when the shifter is behaving, it's still difficult to effeciently shift into third and even second gear, because the shifter is so long and inconsistent.

I'm sure you've all heard this before, or atleast thought it to yourselves while tearing up the roads!

Anyway...I found an interesting shifter on the MustangTuning website. The Steeda Tri-Ax seemed perfect for a shortshifter, but then I found this one;

Has anybody tried this one out? Maybe it's just a hair less notchier and a little longer than the Tri-Ax? I just need some opinions/feedback here.

What shifter do you think I should get, and why? [sm=feedback.gif]

I've heard nothing but good things about mgw, whenever I get some spare change I'm going to get one.
