I've been looking for a while to get a shifter but winter came before I had the chance. Now that the snow is gone I'm back in the hunt. Originally I was thinking a Steeda Tri ax, pro 5.0, hurst or one of those bigger names. But now I've found some no names (seem to be smaller independent companies) offering the same product for a third of the costs <80$$ on ebay new.
The price is very tempting but I dont want to go ahead and get one if they are just sh**. Does anyone know if these brands are at all reputable ? Or better, does it really matter who makes it ?
Below are the links for what I found: (just copy and paste)
I've owned many, many cars (over 20) and I had never installed an aftermarket shifter until this current car. I found a STEEDA on eBay, used, for about $70 shipped.
I have never tried any other brand, but from my standpoint, and the amazing difference I felt, I would recommend this shifter.
100%. Hands down, the best mod I have ever made for ease of use, and improving driveability. What a wonderful product!
Wish I could vouch for others, but I know you can't go wrong with the STEEDA shifter.
CURRENTLY: 2000 GT 5 Speed, Flowmaster Cat-Back, CAI, New Michelin Pilots, STEEDA Short Throw, Cross Drilled/Slotted Rotors/Performance Pads, New IAC, King Cobra Clutch Kit, Royal Purple in Everything...Would nearly kill for rims and full suspension kit (soon to come).
I have tried a UPR Blue Thunder (similar to a Steeda Tri Ax) and an MGW shifter on my Mach 1. The shifter that I ended up keeping installed was the MGW. There are several good shifters available, but the MGW is in a class by itself. After two years of daily driver usage it still shifts as good as it did when new, it has not even got a little play in it.
i'd love a mgw or triax but they are literally 3x's the price of these other no namers and I'm just wondering how different if at all they really would be
