Steeda TriAx or Pro 5.0 Shifter?

[BLACK85GT]

thats what I keep hearing, they are both good. So do I just flip a coin and pick one? Or are there any differences that might sway me one way or the other.

I dunno the differences, but I love my pro 5.0. Since I've owned it I've never missed a shift with it.

Heard good things about both, can't go wrong either way. Just choose which ever you prefer. Try to find a couple of friends that have one of each, and try each in the car. That would be the best way to decide.

if they both rock, go with the cheaper one. Unless they are the same price....

i agree, both are great so i picked up the cheaper tri-ax for $165 shipped last year, its awesome

only downside that should be noted is the increase in tranny noise from the inside of the car, but its worth the trade off for imporved shifts

Here's the skinny on the shifters. Although I've never owned or driven a Pro 5.0, they're steel, have "overshift protection" and they're awesome. The Tri-Ax unit it forged aluminum, with overshift protectors. Last year when I slammed my stock shifter into 3rd, well actually inbetween 3rd and 5th, I bent the crap outta the shifter. I bought a Tri-Ax and have been hammering on it since, with ZERO complaints or problems.

The overshift adjustments keeps you from moving the shifter too far in the heat of battle. Very easy to seriously mess up your tranny if you do that. The increased noise comes from the fact that there is an isolator on the stock shifters, just for that reason. Unfotunately this also gives the shifter a little sloppy feel as well. The aftermarket units are solid mounted to the trans, no isolators, more noise, better feel. A sacrafice I'm willing to make.

Either way, you can't go wrong. They're both top notch!
