SURPRISE...Steeda Tri-Ax!

[esoteric781]

I've been wondering for a while now that since I found my stock shifter handle in the trunk underneath the spare tire, if the previous owner before me had not only changed the shifter handle but the whole shifter as well. I checked today (after having the car for about 4 months now) and found that I do in fact have a Steeda Tri-Ax Short throw Shifter! Not a bad surprise at all. Question I have now is what else has this guy done to the car that I really would not notice at first, could there be a new chip in there? Pullies? What I'm wondering here is if any of you guys know of a good way to tell if I have aftermarket pullies or not, whether there are measurements, or just what the stock 01 Cobra pullies happen to look like. I don't have a digital camera, so I can't really take some good pictures to show you guys, but IMO, they do look aftermarket after what I've seen on some of my friends GT's.

Well at least you found it now before you went and bought a new shifter. Wonder if there are any different rear end gears in it???

highly doubt it from how it feels when it drives, but like you said, who knows. plan on getting 4.10's either way, thats the next mod after springs and subframes.

The easiest way to see if an aftermarket chip has been installed is to open the glovebox, squeeze the sides of the glovebox so it opens completely (and allows you to see inside the upper kick panel area), and, with a flashlight, look on the right side - you can see the computer and should be able to see if there's a chip attached.

haha, if you thought that's what the stock shifter felt like then you need to drive one with the stocker still in. It'll make you sick.
