I doubt you can break a steeda, we used to hang off of them with a 5 foot cheater bar to test them when I worked there. They are forged as well.

It's no inconvenience at all. I apologize for coming off as snippy. I only pointed it out because I think it was you on facebook who said "at first I thought this was gonna get ugly, but then you guys came through with the warranty." I assumed you said that because I started off my facebook response by saying, "I've run 6.47 with the UPR shifter and ... blah blah blah..." I only pointed that out, because I've been doing this job for a long time and I knew your post would draw out ridiculous comments like this one below:




Good one. Does this look like a Walmart car?

Oh, and I did not say that. That was Billy Hall that said that, and he said it because he was impressed with the service. Go back and re read it.

OMG. Photobucket sucks so bad lately. I'm really beginning to hate that place. Sorry about the broken links guys.

Anyway, I'm running 275/60-15 M/T ET Street Radials on my Fox.

Pro 5.0 shifter, with a tri-ax handle here on top of the TKO. RIP to the try-ax handle, it snapped off today right where the threads end for the shift knob lol. Never using one of those again, although I did like the positioning.

It's common knowledge that the Tri-Axe handle is not for gear jammin' drag race monkeys. The Tri-Axe is probably one of the smoothest shifters out there (for the T-5 at least) but the aluminum handle is definitely the weakest link.

I can't imagine why the tool-bag in the quote above would use a Pro 5.0 lower with a Tri-Axe handle. He's effectively selected the worse two pieces of two great products and put them together.
