Hi, I got a 03 Mach 1 and I want to know which shifter to get. I like that the Steeda has the longer handle, and it says it puts it closer to the driver. Basically does anybody have any pictures of the Steeda Tri-Ax, Pro 5.0, or the MGW? Thanks

Had the Tri-ax on the old GT and liked it a lot better than stock. Went with the MGW on the mach when it had a 3650 and loved it enough to buy another when I went to a T56 trans.

MGW all the way, Shifts are so smooth and you can adjust the handle to your liking.

I like my UPR shifter. It's like a tri-ax but a little "softer" and not as notchy. Pro5.0's are REALY short, but super super notchy. I like my MGW as well, it's short feels the msot solid.

The other bonus to the MGW is that you can adjust the handle anywhere through 360* to get it in just the right spot for you rather than wherever the manufacturer thinks it should be.

MGW ftw
As said above, you can angle the handle to where it is most comfortable. I have the orange handle and love it.

Im pretty sure either God or Jesus will chime in with the vote "MGW FTW", so you might as well go ahead and buy the MGW. Cause, im sure if they had Mustangs thats what they'd use. They are just that good.

I vote MGW, although I haven't tried anything else. The adjustability of the handle on the MGW was really nice and the shifts are crisp. It definitely feels a lot better than the stocker, it's a more robust piece.
