mgw hands down

Tri ax is the shit #1 in my book. Smooth accurate shifts every time. Also a pro 5.0 base with a tri ax handle is a great combo. The damn pro 5.0 is really nice but an uncomfortable position.

for some reason my pro50 would always either grinding 3rd or missing it [Confused]

Yeah I have the pro5.0 but I putnew seatsin my car the summit race seats and its really uncomfertable and I agree I hate grinding gears and I've had other short throws and it seems its the shifter...or the driver [Mad]

tri ax never gave me any problems it was on my 91 coupe and i put it on the cobra today.

I got the pro50 shifter with their new steel handle. They made a new handle that extends back like the tri-ax, but wont break like the aluminum

I felt the same way with the standard pro50 handle. I got the new one and it is a lot more comfortable.

I have a steeda tri-ax on my T5, and on my T-56s I have Pro50, I'd recommmend either one.

Posted by 1HaTCheD5LiTEr (Member # 8269) on :

With T5s I go with the Pro50. When it comes to Tremecs, then I would go with MGW any freakin day of the week [worship]

I Love the Hurst shifter never missed 3rd gear again with this one [Big Grin]

b&m pro ripper [patriot]

Posted by STREETFIGHTER50 (Member # 2973) on :

B&M Pro-Ripper & Tri-Ax are the best I've had. The Pro-Ripper has an adjustable handle & has two sets of springs (light & heavy). I installed the heavy springs. Nice & tight!
