RE: steeda tri ax

TR 3650's have internal shift stops. I wouldn't use them if I were you.

Tremec Transmissions

Service Bulletin 03.01

Subject:

Aftermarket Shifter Stops

Transmission Models Affected:

All

Severe damage may be caused by installing an aftermarket shifter with "shift stops" on any TREMEC transmission. All TREMEC transmissions are designed and manufactured with built-in shift stops to prevent over shifting. Therefore; shift stops on aftermarket shifters are totally unnecessary when used on a TREMEC transmission. TREMEC "TR series" transmissions have multiple shift rails with shift stops on the gearing. TREMEC "T series" transmissions have a single shift rail system with stops built into the guide plate.

When installing an aftermarket shifter on a TREMEC transmission it is best to remove the shift stops to avoid miss adjustment, and the potential of the screws vibrating lose. A misadjusted shift stop can cause an under-shift, which may lead to a gear jump-out situation. If the transmission jumps out of gear, the shift fork can be bent causing permanent damage to the transmission. Shift forks can also be damaged by "clash shifting". A clash is caused by a missed shift.

Neither an "under-shift", nor a "clash shift" can be prevented by shift stops. TREMEC shift forks are designed to take loads up to 1,000 lbs. However, a gear jump-out may well exceed 1,000 lbs. of force, which may result in a permanently damaged transmission.

I prefer the lowest height setting. It also gives you a shorter throw.

RE: steeda tri ax

thanks so u did not set the shift stops i only did it on 3rd and 4th gear and there is a small gap between so i think i am ok because when i shift the gear does not pop out that means is ok, it feel stiff and hard when shifting but i assume is because of the new shifter am i correct.
