Steeda Tri Ax Shifter write up in 5.0 magazine

Hey guys, I just wanted to post an article from 5.0 magazine on our Tri Ax Shifter. This is a great read if you are on the fence.

Chad also performed the simple shifter replacement for us at the company's Valdosta, Georgia, skunkworks. The process starts with removing the shift **** and lifting the console assembly completely off, then disconnecting the electrical connectors for tractioncontrol and cupholder illumination. With the console fully separated and off to the side, Chad pulls out the insulation, sound deadener, and the rubber boot covering the OEM shifter handle.

Big Steve had a great opportunity to spend a week's worth of quality time with Steeda's upgraded Pony and he offers a few insights on the Tri-Ax's reduction in throw, reverse lockout functionality, and a most importantly, the shifter's "feel" when gears are engaged.

"The Steeda Tri-Ax is like steroids for the stock shifter mechanism. It amplifies what's already there by bestowing shorter throws and more feel without throwing the stock shifter's NVH out the window," Steve said. "In short, it's just what the shift doctor ordered for the preponderance of street 'Stang owners."

I love the way mine works but I still have a decent amount of NVH. Even with extra sound deadening material added.

Haha I hear ya! I get the newsletter so hopefully I will find a gift in my inbox one day.

Also a quick question, any reason why Steeda went with a 20% shorter throw, as opposed to 40%, like some of the competition??

The Steeda Tri Ax shifter has gone through many tests and studies and we have determind that the 20% throw is ideal for the driver, the transmission and ultimately for not missing a gear. Our shifter gives you the confidence that when you shift from 2nd to 3rd gear that you will hit the correct gear as opposed to having a gummy feeling and shifting back into 1st , into 5th, or just missing a shift. Our shifter has crossed the finish line in first place more times than the competition and that is something we are proud of.
