Hi, I have a 94 mustang gt with a T-5 transmission and Steeda Tri-Ax shifter. Whenever going over ~80 mph a loud metal clicking sound comes from underneath my shifter (sounds like putting a baseball card in a bicycle wheel spoke but louder). My friend with the same shifter told me the Tri-Ax has "stop points" unlike a stock shifter which protect the forks in the transmission from bending, but that they can vibrate if not set correctly.
Here is what happened: My transmission died (blue gears) because the rear seal with the yoke broke and leaked all the transmission fluid. The shop replaced with a new rebuilt transmission and within one week and 600 miles the rear seal with the yoke again broke and leaked all the fluid.
My question is this: Does the Steeda Tri-Ax shifter have a common problem of producing vibration and causing the rear seal to rupture and leak transmission fluid? I had the Tri-Ax installed for 3 years with the vibration occurring before this seal broke and it happened again within one week after getting the new transmission. Is the shifter the culprit?
