You have to try them out and see how they feel.


Best Regards,

MGW always seems to win these polls. They're a first rate product for sure.

I have one in my car. Very short throw, and very tight. I love the action of this shifter!

I've used both, and the mgw is miles better.

I had both the Tri-ax and MGW in my 03 Cobra, the MGW won hands down.

I also put the MGW in my 97 Cobra and 13 GT and didn't look at any others since I knew that I wanted the MGW.

The 97 is now my sons car, he was just telling me that anyone that gets in it to try the shifter normally buys a MGW.

I have never seen any deals on them since you can only get it from MGW.

You can find them on SVTP for the 01+ cars, but I doubt you will find one used for the T5/T45.
