![]() I've had both and wouldn't say one is better than the other. But, I like the Pro 5.0 better. Here's a breakdown...
Tri-ax Pros: adjustable height, shifter is closer to you, cool name, pretty color ![]() Tri-ax Cons: Notchy feel, more gear noise. Pro 5.0 Pros: shortest throw, good feel, no noise, solid construction. Pr 5.0 Cons: shortest throw(you have to reach for 5th) In order to have the best of both world's, some people are using the Pro 5.0 base with the Tri-ax handle. This way you can have the feel of the Pro 5.0 with the stick a little longer and closer to you. Whichever you choose will feel 100% better than the stock shifter. ------------------ T-Bones 1997 Cobra Wht/blk, Pro 5.0,FRPP 4.10's, aluminum driveshaft, FRPP throttle body, C&L 80mm MAF, K&N, Steeda U/D pulleys, Steeda timing adjuster, Flowmasters, s/f connectors, FRPP pro springs, BBK caster/cambers. ![]() |

![]() Thanks. I like the Pro
5.0. I believe one site offered the steel bushing kit, in order to use stock handle? |

![]() I have the Steeda Tri-Ax, but have driven both, and I agree with T-Bone.
But I would put the "Notchy" feel in the Pro catagory. I actually like it better. But I would also put an * next to gear noise. Particulary at low RPMS; the Steeda unit does transmit more gear noise. (Shrugs shoulders) I think either one you will be happy with. |

![]() I have the B&M Ripper and it suits me fine. It's all personal preference and driving style that determines what's "best". As stated above, anything is better than stock.

![]() It's true reaching for 5th takes some getting used to with the pro 5.0 but i thought they offer another handle that brings it back to you. ------------- 99 gt bassani xpipe, pro 5.0,

![]() Thanks to all. Will go
with the 5.0, and use the offered bushing kit, in order to retain the stock handle. Guess I'll have to suffer without the pretty color! |

![]() If anyone is considering the Steeda Tri-Ax then make sure you check out the Blue Thunder shifter by UPR. They are identical but come with a stronger aluminum shifter handle and are more affordable. I've had mine for 8 months now with no problems.
