IDK.......I love my TriAx when Im really pushing the unit and banging through the gears..............its impossible to miss third now.
At the same time, for pedestrial driving, a short throw shifter sucks..........I dont care what anybody says. Stock is much more comfortable for just cruising around town. At least twith the TriAx, you have to force the handle through the gears because it is so notchy...............but thats the tradeoff with a performance shifter.

When I got my '03 GT, after driving supercharged Miatas for 8 years, the very first thing that had to go was that rubbery monkey-motion OEM shifter. In the Miata the stock shifter shifter only moved 1-3/4" between neutral and any gear, my modified shifter was less than 1-1/4".
By comparison the stock shifter in the Mustang felt like I was shifting with a toilet plunger! The MGW is a pleasure around town, flicking it from gear-to-gear makes me smile each time I shift...

I just don't like the metallic like feel that comes from my short throw, or the light grinding and occasional whining that comes from it, lol.
