RE: OMFG SHIFTER DEBATE!!! WOOT!!!
the steeda is comfy and relatively smooth but noisy. the "boot guard" they always talk about is nothing but a washer that just sits on a notch on the shifter to keep the boot from getting pinched.
i drove the B&M as well on an 02 GT and it's good too but not adjustable and i didn't like the position of the shifter handle (had to reach too much for me).

There is no problem with the stock shifter if you change below 5K RPM. But, if you are changing between 2nd and 3rd at any RPM over 5K, you will hit a wall. It simply will not change gears, especially if you are trying to speed shift. The syncros are not conducive for this in the Tremec trannies, so call Ford and ask for the update.

I think I'm gonna go with the MGW LTD shifter...the thing looks SOLID! It's currently the shortest throw on the market, and I'm pretty much sacrificing comfort for performance I guess.
I can sum up that I'd definately be happy with a Steeda Tri-Ax, but I'm gonna take a risk and go for something fairly new here...

IMO MGW is the best one of them all!

After I learned how to just push into 3rd gear rather than guide it into 3rd gear, I haven't missed 3rd since and I don't really have all that much of a complaint about my stock shifter. I'd like to try a late model GT with a short throw to see if I'm missing out on anything.

+1 If your missing gearsor "hitting walls that dont exist"its not the shifter... its you
