I am goinig to go with steeda.....the design and features are lot more solid than that of the pro 5.0....
just my opinion

Both are great...Steeda is less $$$ and free shipping here at the Partshopper.
I went with the Steeda after hearing it has more adjustment for driver height/reach and you won't bang your knuckles like the Pro 5.0 sometimes.

Pro 5.0 shifts much smoother and is worth the extra cost. I ran a Tri-Ax for two years and will never, ever go back. And the Pro 5.0 offers just as much adjustability if you buy a Tri-Ax handle or an MGW handle. Heh, even UPR makes a nice adjustable one. But, I'm sorry, the Tri-Ax just sucks...

If you look around you can find the Pro 5.0 for about 175.00 very smooth shift plus it doesnt have that joint in the handle like the stock and the steeda.
Pro 5-0 MGW handle best shifter combo you can buy!

Tri-Ax here...never used a Pro-5.0 and probably never will...mine works great and on the lower setting I never have to move my elbow off the center console to shift, it's at the perfect angle and height for me...
I have a tri-ax in my 88 and a pro 5.0 in my 96. I personally like them both and do not have a real favorite. I do hate the handle that comes on the tri-ax though, I switched to a pro 5.0 handle the first week I had the shifter and could not be happier with it.
Tri-Ax here on my '97 Cobra. At first, it felt very tight and notchy, but I was told all aftermarket STS's feel like that. Eventually it loosened up, and feels good now. Its spring loaded and kinda puts itself into gear, its pretty cool.
The stock shifter feels like a big wet noodle compared to this one. I don't really notice myself shifting much faster with this one. The only real reason I got the shifter was becuase my stock assembly was leaking and neede to be replaced anyways, otherwise I woulda just kept it stock. It's a strong, quality unit though and has crisp shifts.

Bought a PRO 5.0 at the 40th for $160. Takes alittle bit to get used to, but I know I will never miss 3rd again. Friend installed a Steeda in his Mach 1 , a little noisey and the knob gets hot after driving it for awhile. But still a nice shifter

What kinda "noise" are you talking about, the gear whine? Cuz I have that with the Pro 5.0.
I have missed 3rd a couple times, and also didnt throw it up far enough, which was a big dissapointment. So I know how that is. I've been thinking about switching to just the Tri-ax handle, but I dunno what differnces it would make, if any.
