RE: Short Throw Shifters MGW VS STEEDA TRIAX
I switched from a Tri-ax to the MGW. The MGW is not shorter in throw but shorter in height. The spring is ALOT stronger though, and that makes 2-3 and 4-5 shifts better. I also went from the liquid seal to a gasket. The gasket is a lot queiter so i recomend it. Basically the MGW is better but I could have gotten by with the Tri-ax.

RE: Short Throw Shifters MGW VS STEEDA TRIAX
I have had both shifters. I really think the MGW is a better shifter than the triax. It is quiter and just has a lot better feel. I really like how firm and positve the shifts are. I cannot be any happier with my MGW!

RE: Short Throw Shifters MGW VS STEEDA TRIAX
I had a MGW in my 04' GT and a TriAx in my 03' Cobra.... MGW hands down...
FYI: The MGW isn't as short as the triax physically, but the throw itself is. It's also just a better all around shift, and the rotating handle makes it worlds above the rest.
The MGW has the shortest THROW of all the shifters... the height of the shifter is playing tricks... kinda like a butt dyno.

Also, not to steal your thread or sales (hope you don't mind since it's for a different transmission), but I also have a Tri-Ax for sale, only a few hundred miles on it, perfect condition, for a T-5/T-45. PM me if you're interested. It'll probably go up on eBay soon if no one here wants one.

The MGW spring is absolutely NOT stronger than the Tri-Ax. That's what makes it smoother. The Tri-Ax springs are much stronger making the 2-3 shift all but impossible to miss. The MGW has strong centering springs as well, and the shift would still be hard to miss, but it's not as strong as the Tri-Ax. The Tri-Ax is a bit too strong though, which is what gives it the notchy feeling. It likes to hold in neutral a bit harder than most people like while going from one gear to another. I have used both and I prefer the MGW, but they are both great shifters.
