Default Thinking about switching from a steeda triax to MGW!

The owner i bought the car from told me he has had the shifter in the car for 4 years. I had a MGW in my 2010 gt and i really liked it. I'm thinking about buying a new one for my 2004 gt. Those of you who switched from a steeda tri ax to a MGW please chime in and tell why i should or should not change.




I like this ****:

I swapped from the tri ax on my gt to mgw, I just like the overall feel of the mgw over the tri ax and my mgw is quiet which my tri ax wasn't. My tri ax did get slightly quieter when I added my cobra bob shifter gaskets to it though. I now have an mgw on both my cars with the cobra bob gaskets and have no complaints at all.

I have the MGW but I don't have the cobrabob gasket. I don't have any problems with noise.
