Default steeda tri-ax sucks!!!

i've had it on for like 8 months and i hate it. its not smooth at all. when i shift from say 3rd to 4th, it goes 3-n-4. its pretty choppy. i should have invested in a pro50 or something. if it wasn't much trouble i'd take this off and buy something else...

anyone else noticed this stuff about them???

I like mine, but I haven't tried anything else. I sometimes miss gears with it, but that might just me me shifting to slow and clutching too fast.

Mine shifts alright, but somehow it doesn't feel like a short shifter. I bought it used so I sent pics in to Steeda, it seems to be the real deal. But somehow it feels like my stock POS. Last time I buy a Tri-Ax.

I hate my pro50. Wayto notchy and really doesn't help on the 2nd-3rd shift that much.To be honest I hate most after market shifters on these t5s. Vigcs on this forum has a bbk grip shifter and that was one of the smoothest shifters I've ever used on these cars.

7 yrs with the Tri-ax and it's still pull to 2nd --push to 3rd-- and pull to 4th.I'venever experienced a choppy feeling or once missed a shift in that time with the tri-ax , but againthat's just me.
