Anyone have issues with the rubber boot sliding up out of the groove after several shifts? Mine seems to be sliding up frequently.

No, have not heard of this before. Brought it up to Scott and Chad in manufacturing and they are scratching their heads. Give us a call so we can discuss this further.

Steve as I spoke with you last night I havent had this either. I will call you wednesday when i get done with my meeting and i would like to see your car and check this out.

Overboost 11/30/10 10:18 AM

I have time tomorrow to take the trim panel out and will see what I can find from there. I made sure to orient it correctly, but don't know if I overlooked something else. I'll be in touch tomorrow for sure.

I have had a steeda short throw in my car for 4 years now. It started out great, but now is much sloppier than even the stocker. the shifter will flop back and forth a good 2 to 3 inches. is there a way to freshen these shifters up?

Overboost 11/30/10 10:23 AM

I will say this; the shifter seems to be getting better. Having driven 300 miles since install, it's started to loosen up enough and really feel good in the hand.

If you're someone who does a lot of city driving, you can really appreciate the changes the shifter makes.

First make sure the bolt at the bottom of the pivot that holds the linkage bar to the shifter is still tight. Also make sure the front and rear bushings are still good.

If that is ok, You could have had an internal spring fail. That is about the only thing that can go wrong with the shifter internally.

If you can get it to us we can rebuilt it at no charge under warranty. We normally can turn it back around within a day or 2 of receiving it.

If you want to do that PM me so I can give you all the right info to send it in.

I think there may be a concern over a broken bolt under the car that may be contributing, you know the two bots that hold the shifter to the floor.

I'll look at those also, thanks for the heads up!

Is the knob threads the same as the stock shifter?

Nevermind, found that it is.

rsb5772 12/3/10 02:08 AM

Has anyone measured the distance from 3-4, and left/right, to compare the difference.

Skunk v5.0 12/22/10 10:43 PM

This is exactly the kind of information I was looking for. I am the recent owner of a 2011 GT, she's my first Mustang and I must say I am thoroughly impressed. I used to laugh at Mustangs...I'm the one laughing now.

Thanks for the awesome review on the sts. Next mod...well after the panhard bar and brace and trailing arms...steeda short throw.

laserred38 12/23/10 01:09 PM

I actually liked the vibration in the older cars. I guess I'm old school like that. Feels more like you're controlling a bucking beast than a machine! :D

Big Poppa 12/25/10 02:11 AM

I finally installed my Tri-Ax. It's wonderful. I give it 5* stars.

Ethanjbeau 12/25/10 09:25 AM

Got it as a christmas gift this morning! Gonna install in sometime soon and give it a try! :metal:

Ethanjbeau 12/25/10 01:40 PM

You were the one laughing then too. :p

SteedaGus 12/30/10 06:34 AM

Thanks for the great feedback guys! We appreciate your business and support!

We hope everyone has a Happy New Year!

2011 GT 12/30/10 02:02 PM

Well, Gus, you know I'm having this mod on my shopping/wishlist! I'll be down your way most likely in January to get the Tri-Ax installed.

And in regards to the Steeda Customer Service: There is just simply no comparison... A++++ all the way! (just wish more companies would be run like Steeda - products are awesome and so is the customer service/support!)

Thanks Gus and Steeda crew for always making us add more stuff to our shopping basket! (And it's sooo much fun!) :-)
