I want a new shifter handle get rid of the stock one maybe thinking about a ball not sure for my steeda tri-ax...what kind do you guys have and why do u like them
 
I have...
Pro 5.0 shifter (quiet & smooth)
Pro 5.0 medium handle (very similar to Triax handle but stronger)
Cobra "5-speed" knob (ahh...cool leather)

I used to have....
Triax shifter (ahhh....too loud!)
Triax handle
Bullitt knob (ouch....too hot!)
 
i have an MRT 2" ball (also available in 2.5"). its just black with the classic 5-speed shift pattern in white, and it has a red MRT logo as well. just adds a little old-school feel to a modern car. to me it seems like so many of the knobs out there are way too flashy, like the manufacturer was trying too hard. i mean c'mon, its just a shift knob. some things were meant to be kept simple. just my .02.
 
I got the 40th aniveristy ball and it was a little weird from stock, and realy hot in sumer, and realy cold in winter ( I live in texas ) I think i would like a hurst style, but I put the stock one back on and I shift better.
 
Have
UPR pistol grip
stock 04 gt knob
T-handle
Billiard ball
some lil bitty shifter ball

what I use the most is the stock one though.
The UPR is nice but if I don't grip it tight it feels odd in the hand.
The T-handle, is ok but when I'm hammering corners and doing alot of shifting it just doesn't feel right.
The billiard ball looks good IMO but is a lil big for spirited driving and gets slick easy.
the small ball, makes my hand cramp up.


all on my mgw shifter, I switch between the red handle and blue handle often too.
Yes I'm a bit of shifter knob junkie.
 
I got the Steeda Insulated Knob. It doesn't heat up like their original knobs did.

And as fas as reach, i got the Steeda Comfort Pro handle. It really brings the shifter closer to you. When you're in 5th, it feels like if you were in 1st using the original TriAx shifter. That's how far over left it brings it.
 
I've got a Fat Knob on the Steeda Triax.
