Triax Short Throw
 

I've been lookin at short throw's for some time now, and I figure it's the best way to go. I know it will help with secure shifts, and the spring-loaded 3rd will obviously be beneficial. I do have a question though. With the spring loaded 3rd, does that make it any harder to down shift to third from fourth, or to second from third? Does the spring put excess strain on the tranny?

Thanks for the replies.

Shifting in a Tri-Ax is nice. I have one and I think it shifts fine...Upshifting and down shifting. That 3rd gear is sweet....I never miss 3rd now.

RE: Triax Short Throw
 

I really like my tri-ax. The spring doesn't make it harder to downshift at all, it makes everything easier.

get the upr its $100 and theres no difference i had them both.

Too Slow to change?
 

I have a question about some gears. I undestand that you swap top end speed for acceleration. If I got 3:90's how much will that take off my top speed?


Car's stock.

RE: Too Slow to change?
 

None.

RE: Too Slow to change?
 

I thought that it sacrifices some top speed?

RE: Too Slow to change?
 

no you just rev at higher RPM's. The simple way of explaining it to you would be to say that you swap top speed for rpms, but thats really not correct. You could run 4.10s and have just as high of a top speed. It may actually be possible to have a higher top speed due to the fact that you have more torque.

RE: Too Slow to change?
 

BTW don't get 3.90's get either 3.73's or 4.10's made by Ford.

RE: Too Slow to change?
 

Well you definitely wont get MORE top end because of torque, and btw gears dont give you more torque just shorter faster geards., but you will hardly lose any at all. Once you hit 5th gear (overdrive) you can still truck up to a good speed. But who cares about a high top end, if you lose any, you wont notice it, because who hauls around at 140+ all the time?? You won't care about top end when you get gears. You have to have them to understand.

RE: Too Slow to change?
 

3.90s aren't a bad choice, just not a lot of people get them. I considered them when I was getting gears, and I would have gotten them if I didnt get a good deal on my 3.73s. I love my 3.73s, but 4.10s are sweet too.

i have a 99 cobra and was looking at these triax sts, which tyoe do i get for my car? im pretty srue my car still has the tremec t-45 tranny that comes stock with it, but do i have to get a precific type to fit my cobra?

RE: Too Slow to change?
 

My MGW is on the way in the mail. I've heard nothing but good reviews about it. I don't think many people know about it yet.

RE: Too Slow to change?
 

No, you're fine, yes u have the t-45. Go to mustangtuning.com, you can figure out which shifter will work with your car, thats where I got mine and I love it.

RE: Too Slow to change?
 

Mine is too.

RE: Too Slow to change?
 

I've got the MGW in mine, love it...tc

RE: Too Slow to change?
 

MGW?
What is that?

I've heard some rumors however about if you get 4:10's, and FI (which I plan on gettin early next year-- procharger at about 11-14 psi) that you can't get any traction till 3rd gear cuz the gears are so short?

This true?

Someone with FI may wanna answer this, but anyone who knows, please by all means, take your best shot :)

that's MGW..
I still have my stock shifter but I plan on getting the MGW as my second upgrade (after I fix my speedometer/odometer). Heard nothing but good stuff about it.

RE: Triax Short Throw
 

thanks for the post to that link.

I'm still wondering bout those gears fellas!!!

RE: Triax Short Throw
 

when did the search button stop working??:eek:

RE: Triax Short Throw
 

I know I could search, but I figured since I have a thread based on gears, this is a common question...and I was wondering myself and I did search--and what I found didn't quite answer my questions completely.

RE: Triax Short Throw
 

If your going FI, and worried about traction go 3.73 gears and youll be fine

RE: Triax Short Throw
 

ask your questions and we will help you out.

RE: Triax Short Throw
 

Well that was about it.
I wanted to know if 4:10's would be too much for a FI car. I figured it would, but I also figured I may as well ask.
But, I wont be gettin the FI till like december or january at best. Should I get the 4:10's for now?
Or just get 3:73's?

RE: Too Slow to change?
 

Wow it came, and let me tell you... it is amazing
