I am looking for a shifter to get and was wondering what is the better out of the pro 5.0 or the steeda tri ax.

Posted by GR40Coupe (Member # 698) on :

PRO 5.0

WOW [Eek!]

It's unanimous [patriot]

Posted by shade-tree (Member # 298) on :

I had a steeda tri-ax w/T5, and a Pro 5.0 w/tremec 3550

AFAIK, no big difference

The steeda has 2 adjustment places, which is nice. I always ended up leaving it in the shortest throw one though.

I really liked how the tri-ax/T5 combo shifted vs the pro5.0/tremec 3550, but that has more to do with the trannies themselves than the shifter.

I HAVE NO EXPERIANCE WITH THE PRO 5.0, I CURRENTLY HAVE THE STEEDA TRI AX IN MY 02. AND ITS GREAT I COULDNT IMAGINE THE PRO 5.0 TO BE BETTER. I WOULD HIGHLY RECCOMEND THE STEEDA! [worship]

Posted by 91PONY (Member # 206) on :

I've got the Steeda Tri-Ax and I like it.....but I've never tried the Pro-5.0 [Wink]

Posted by RO2USH (Member # 2002) on :

Tri-Ax all the way for a newer stang, I can't say for the older models

Posted by blackcobra98 (Member # 1078) on :

I've got the Pro 5.0 in my Cobra, and love it. I've never driven a car w/ a tri-ax in it though, so my opinion is biased.

tri ax is spring loaded, impossible to miss gears tri ax or bust on newer mustangs

Ive also got a Tri-ax. I love it.

Posted by Black94 5.0 (Member # 655) on :

The Tri-Ax is a great shifter, but the Pro-5.0 Is better..I've installed a lot of shifters, I've always liked the Pro-5.0...The Tri-Ax always seemed to have a little longer throw...You will be pleased with either shifters...

Vote:Pro 5.0 [patriot]

Impossible? Although I like the shifter, I must say that I have missed 3rd plenty of times at the track.

Posted by 91sleeper (Member # 779) on :

Although I have an auto I have driven many mustangs and felt the clutch, tranny, shifter differnces and I have to say PRO 5.0 is the only way to go in my book, with a SPEC stage 2 or 3 clutch.

Posted by 91 5.0 (Member # 1527) on :

here are links to both. Steeda says they have the shortest throw. May or may not be true. The pro 5.0 has a steel stop ring, the tri ax I believe is aluminum. Im not sure that matters though, its not like your hitting it with a sledge hammer. I still say get the tri ax.

Two trannys later my buddys 98 cobra had a groove in the stop ring on his pro 5.0. It was crazy [Eek!]

It's amazing how hard someone can really BANG gears.

Posted by 91 5.0 (Member # 1527) on :

What? How does that work? The shifter runs into the stop bolts, not the ring. I think your friend is confused.

Good Lookin on the responses I think that I will go with the pro 5.0. That is what some of my boys are telling me as well.

Posted by FlyingLow (Member # 1485) on :

Tri-Ax

Posted by rico91stang (Member # 2389) on :

I would go with the Tri Ax. I have the hurs shifter, and I dont miss gears. It has only happened like 3 times in the past three years.

I'm also looking for a shifter for my T5... I've been told there is a minimal difference beteen the two, except that the Tri-ax has the shorter adjustable shifter... So I'm going w/ the Tri-ax!
