I would also recommend the gasket as well. You wont have to worry about dealing with the sealent and letting it dry.
yeah the gasket is nice, especially if you take it out again to change the transmission fluid like I did, makes it very easy to bolt right back in w/o having to deal with sealant.

I have the tri ax and have drove the pro 5.0 and I like how short the shifts are in the 5.0....the handle maybe shorter on the tri ax but the shift isn't coming from someone who knows

To put it simply, the Tri Ax and Pro 50 have the same short shift ratio, so it's stritcly a matter of which one you want. I have the Steeda, others have the Pro, but the MGW, from what I've heard, is far better, and it's fully adjustable, it just all comes down to rather or not you want to pay the price for it.

What?? www.mgwltd.com the MGW is the best shifter out there and costs as much as the others...$179
stangshifters.com has both pro-50 and tri-ax at $169, $179...

I've converted over two cobra buddies of mine from tri-ax shifters after driving my car... svtperf. has a long thread about MGW.. Now think, if it's that good cobra's are talking that much about it.. it'll be great for you..

I have the Steeda, and was my best mod imo, along with the lowering and wheels.

I ordered the tri-ax yesterday from Autobadges, can't wait to throw it in this weekend and test it out. I'll let you know how it goes.

I got a Tri-Ax as one of my first mods and it really did make the car so much more fun to drive every time I drive it! It's got a really nice solid feel to it and makes ripping through the gears so much more fun! [sm=gears.gif]

I do remember after ordering mine though reading this whole thread about how great the MGW was and then kicking myself for not researching a little bit more! The MGW seems like a great shifter and if they're the same price you might want to try that route, but you can't go wrong with the Tri-Ax either and Autobadges.com has great service and great prices on those Tri-Ax shifters.

steeda tri ax vs Pro 5.0

Steeda wins..smoother and cleaner shifts

5.0 is known to be too short and harder
