I want to improve my shifter on my cobra, and i see that you can get just the new handle, or a new entire aftermarket shifter. Is it worth getting the whole shifter or is just the handle fine. And what is the most common shifter for street use?

 

Steeda Tri-ax, you'll love it

 

Get the MGW, it has two interchangeable handles for different tastes. It's a good quality part and feels right when shifting.

 

Replace the entire shifter, you will love the feel of a quality after market product.
There are several good shifters on the market. I love my Steeda Tri-Ax.

 

what makes the Steeda Tri-ax so much better than the one Ford makes? I was looking at the pic and it looks like a hunk of metal to me. Smoother shifts? faster shifts?

 

So everybody likes the Steeda Tri-ax, it's a short-throw right?

 

DO NOT GET THE TRIAX.

I have had both the triax, and the mgw. The mgw is built much better, quieter, and overall smoother.

Coming from a guy who's had both, trust me, the mgw is superior in every way.
