The stock setting is "much harder than stock". There is another spring you can install, which turns it into "I hope you have he-man muscles to push that sucker down".

Not quite. The spring that came installed was very tough, I swapped it out for the other spring and it's a bit heavier than stock, but considerably lighter than the one shipped in the shifter itself.

Lol. Keep in mind there are also shims located in the pocket for the reverse lockout spring. By adding or removing some of the shims you can "fine tune" it exactly to your liking. It's completely adjustable.

I know this is an old thread but I had hoped you guys are still willing to discuss this shifter...I have a 10 GT. Does anyone have any idea how it performs? any complaints with sound or anything else?

The 2010 is a completely different assembly. It does have most of the features of the 2011. There is no reverse lockout on the 2010 so there wont be adjustment for that. The 2010 shifter also has adjustable shifter stops and a 2 position handle height so you can fine tune the throws and comfort position.

Just installed this unit in my '12 a few days ago (picked it up a week ago today) and I do have to say that even though the stock shifter was very nice, the Tri-Ax somehow makes it much better. Install was easy (screw getting under the car, I just used a crowbar to nudge it to the left to get that 4th bolt) and the shifts come much quicker and the left/right feel is also much better.
Kick-*** product!

Thanks I saw that link before. I guess my major concern is the sound and feel of the shift. Have you installed one of these in a '10? If so have you had the same sound issues others have experienced? What about the notchy feeling?

I know this is an old thread but I wanted to talk about this shifter. Almost everything I've seen lately is about the mgw. I was very impressed bug the idea of the race spec mgw but some reports of noise scared me. I had been hoping to find an old mgw come up for sale but finally gave in and bought the steeda tri-ax.
I love it. It fixes the problems I had with the car. The reverse was way too easy to engage. 1-2 was terrible and felt crunchy. It's just what I wanted. I do have the steeda bracket with the softer bushing installed also. There is some noise but it sounds kind of like a turbo spooling up. I actually like the way it sounds.
I'm not trying to offend the legions of mgw fans. Truth be told, when my car is no longer a daily, I'll be switching to mgw race spec. I just wanted to put out there there are other options depending on what you want. I think the steeda bracket and tri-ax are a great addition to a car.

Our Tri-Ax supports tend to remain quite ... we are the silent majority

Not sure how the race spec is - but I'm perfectly content with my "old" MGW. And no, it won't go on sale anytime soon.
