MGW is the best IMO...I had a Tri ax on my Mach at one time & i didnt care for how notchy it was. MGW is much smoother, quieter, easier to find the gears, & u can rotate the handle in different directions. They do make one for your tranny too....

I have a MGW in my 04, and I LOVE it. Best short shifter on the market in my opinion.

+1 and a fuck yes! MGW shifters are awesome... such smooth, smooth shifting. It's hard to miss third with this puppy installed, you almost have to try to miss it. ![[worship]](graemlins/worship.gif)
get an MGW and don't look back.

You will love it! I had a tri ax on my 03 cobra and liked it. Bought my current coupe with a Pro50 in it, and swapped it for the mgw, and love the thing!

+1 for the MGW. i bought my 96' cobra with a tri-ax already in it. it felt fine and wasn't too notchy. i put an MGW in it and never had a problem with missed shifts and it was a lot smoother too.... i will say this, you can't go wrong with any aftermarket shifter since the stocker is a POS... also, the t5 and t45 will have a longer throw even with a short shifter compared to the 3650 or t56... its in their design... not sure if thats the case with the tko's...
