hi, i have a 95 cobra 23,000 miles and stock except for 3.73's, offroad h, cat back, and the tri-ax. my problem is that i have occassional 3rd gear grind when i shift into gear but even before i take my foot off of the clutch. i adjusted the stops to make sure it is going all the way into gear and it definitely is. i don't think the stock shifter was doing this but i only had the car for a very short time before i did the swap so i'm not sure. any ideas what could be causing this? i guess the next move is to put the stock shifter back on and see what happens.

Sounds like stretched clutch cable or your tranny 3rd is getting ready to take a crap so be light going into 3rd or you may hear a "snap, crackle and pop." Then shortly afterwards annoying clunking.

Try changing the clutch cable or if you have an ajuster twist than in some.

Not to insult you, because I've done the same thing, but there is a possibility that you think you've adjusted the stop enough and indeed you haven't.

Try pulling the screw all the way out and drive it. This should only be done temporarily, as it's hard on the transmission.

If that doesn't work, I'd suggest checking the fluid level in the trans.

If that doesn't work, then it's time to split the case....

Yeah the only thing would be to put the stock shifter back on and see if it happens, you never know you may have gotten a bad shifter-stranger things have happened.

My car started popping out of 5th not long after a Tri-AX install...

I'm thinking it was just coincidence...

How far do you guys have the 3rd/5th gear stop adjusted. I backed mine off about a 32nd with no luck...

Those things should be adjusted damn close, right??

if it's popping out of 5th i would assume that it is not adjusted far enough and you are not getting totally into gear. have you tried adjusting it again?

Yea, my initial adjustment was per the instuctions. Then I went in to back it off some more... Probably at 1/32nd to 1/16th backed off now.

You'd think that would be plenty...

I may go in and back them totally out just to take the Tri-ax out of the equation...
