Yes... it's too cheap. Remember, you get what you pay for.

Is it possible to mess up your tranny like that? Damn it don't tell me that lol. I'll probably give it a try if there isn't gunna be complications with the tranny. What the hell like you said it's only 45 dollars I'm gunna be out. And I can probably resell it on ebay if it blows.

pro 5.0 ftw! i agree you get what you pay for sometimes its better to follow the crowd when it comes to proven performance. imo. there was even a post recently for a broken tri ax shifter.

I have the MGW and I prefer it over everything else [ I've owned Steeda Tri-Ax and Pro 5.0(which is the better of the 2)]. It is precise, sturdy, good quality, and you can adjust the handle up or down, and towards or away from you.....to make it the most comfy shifter on the market.....
