I've been looking at getting a new shifter and was thinking either Steeda TriAx, MGW, or Roush billet shifter. They're all about the same price but which one is best and why?
What's the reasoning behind the new shifter?
Cuz the stocker feels like a wet noodle and causes missed shifts?
That's subjective, so it would be nice to hear from the OP.
Of course I'm going to say Steeda, but let me tell you why.
- Made in the USA
- Limited Lifetime Warranty
- No unnecessary adjustments
- 3lbs lighter than other shifters
- Less moving parts (parts period) means less points of potential failure = more reliable
Just my opinion and experience with the stock shifter in my '06, in my '95, and my friends '92.
I don't sell MGW. You might be able to find that on their web site?Where is the MGW shifter made?
Where do you source your materials for your shifters?

We source our materials in the U.S.
I went to their web site but I don't see it stated anywhere that is it in fact made in the U.S.Should know your competition if that's your selling point.
As to sourcing and building in the US, you just raised a notch in my book.

Tri-ax > *
I've driven both and it depends on what you like. The adjustability of the MGW is great and shifting it is smooth and controlled. However, the tri-ax has excellent feedback and you can really hammer through the gears with it. I guess I prefer the more mechanical feel of the tri-ax over the MGW.
Really can't go wrong with either one.

pottymouth You'll appreciate the following reference.
Working a MGW shifter in a Mustang remind me of shifting a 1982 733i BMW (friend in HS had one... awesome car). Very smooth and quite pleasant. I think the tri-ax has a more crude feel to it, but I absolutely love the mechanical/crude feeling. According to internet rumors, tri-ax equipped cars are capable of faster shifts on the track also... not that it matters cause I really don't powershift my car all the time and even if I were at the track I'd still be somewhat easy on the trans.
Anywho...
If you already have a tri-ax it probably isn't worth the money to switch, unless you found someone willing to trade. The tri-ax is noticeably louder than the MGW though. I drive a noisy mustang with an o/r mid-pipe, therefore refined silky smooth shifts w/o gear whine really does nothing for me. You already have a bimmer for your pleasant sunday driving/shifting experience, let the Mustang be the more crude toy.
