Default Steeda vs MGW

Is there really any main difference between the two in terms of short throws? I'm putting one in this weekend and debating which to buy. Any help would be awesome!

I got the MGW, the shortest throw MGW at the time, the blue one, about 5 years ago. I installed it in about 45 minutes. I had a TRI-AX and ended up bending it, My buddy has a Pro and I still like mine better. My opinion only.

I have the steeda and get a lot of buzzing sounds in 4th gear. I have heard nothing but good things about mgw. I would like to try one myself.

MGW!! i researched this for months and months. I heard great things about both, it just seemed like every now and then you heard a bad thing or two about steedas. Ive never seen a negative review about MGW's. Installed it about a 2 weeks ago actually and took the car for a short drive. I instantly fell in love, id never buy a different one!

the MGW is definitely the best quality construction out there. just make sure you take out the stop screws since you have a T3650!!

Hello,,

The Steeda Tri Ax shifter has gone through many tests and studies and we have determind that the 20% throw is ideal for the driver, the transmission and ultimately for not missing a gear. Our shifter gives you the confidence that when you shift from 2nd to 3rd gear that you will hit the correct gear as opposed to having a gummy feeling and shifting back into 1st , into 5th, or just missing a shift. Our shifter has crossed the finish line in first place more times than the competition and that is something we are proud of.

Here is a nice teaser video to show you the benefits of the Tri-Ax:

Let me know if you have any questions?

Thanks

TJ

Not an entirely unbiased opinion...
