I'm interested in swapping out my FORD stock shifter out of my 1990 5.0 and replacing it with a Steeda Tri-ax T5 shifter.
Does anyone here on this board have the Tri-ax installed in their foxbody? How is it? Is there a real noticible difference and if so, in what ways?
I'm looking to do this installation on my own. I have a 5.0 Performance Magazine by Mark Hulohann that pretty much gives a detailed description as well as clear pictures on how to install a PRO 5.0 Shifter. I'm assuming it's the exact same way for any other shifter installation right?
To anyone who installed their own Steeda, can you give me a description as to how you went about installing it and any tips on surprises I may come across that the book I read may not have prepared me for. In my 5.0 Performace book it looks to me the toughest part of the installation procedure will be the removal of the shifter weatherstrip/boot. That's the last piece of rubber that needs to be removed in order to gain access to the 4 13mm shift plate bolts that hold the shifter in place. My understanding is that the 2 nuts at the front closest to the radio are in tight under the console trim and although they may be fairly easy to take out, may be difficult to reinstal. Would full removal of the center console be necessary?
Please share.
Thanks
