everyones pretty much going to recommend what they have. Tri-Ax is a popular one, as are MGW and Pro5.0. Dont know a lot of people using a Hurst on one of our cars.

I say MGW......wonder why

MGW for teh win. . I would say between MGW or the TriAx. Those would be the two popular choices. Im with Helty on the Hurst. I dont know anyone using one the Hurst. I know MGW gives you really good instructions and everything you need to install. Not sure about the TriAx.

I have the Tri-Ax and love it. I have never felt the throws on the mgw, but people seem to like it. My friend has the pro 5.0 and im not a big fan of it.

I have had the Tri-Ax for about a year now and it's great, a HUGE improvement over stock!!! I have only heard good things about the MGW though, but can't comment on that one myself.

I have always had Pro5.0 shifters in my Mustangs.
Had the MGW been available at the time when I purchased my Pro5.0, I would have strongly considered it.

One more for the Steeda Tri-Ax. I've had mine on for about a week now, and don't know how I ever did without it. It should definately be one of the first mods you make IMO

I love my tri-ax and its just as good as MGW or Pro 5.0....get whatever you can find the cheapest....in my case I scored the tri-ax for $130 brand new shipped so I jumped all over that.

I have a Tri-Ax and have felt an MGW. In my opinion the MGW is much better and I wish that I had bought it instead. Anyone want to trade an MGW for my Tri-Ax?

I use a Hurst shifter. It has a slightly longer handle than others. I have aftermarket seats and find my arm is uncomfortable when shifting with the shorter levers. The longer lever and the short throw of the Hurst does the trick. Ford motorsport sells the kit.

I've had my MGW for over a year now, but about 2 weeks after I first had it, a guy I knew had a Tri-Ax in his GT and since I almost bought a Tri-Ax, I thought I'd give it afew test shifts. Man, am I glad I bought the MGW. I swear to god, I thought he still had the stock shifter in his car. The throws still felt as long as a stock shifter. I got out of his GT laughing.

Either Pro 5.0 or i guess MGW, even though i wouldn't buy one. I like the Pro 5.0 because of its strength. It is very solid and proven.
