Tri-Ax Short Throw Shifter

The Steeda Tri-Ax Short Throw Shifter is an advanced performance upgrade for the 2005-2010 Ford Mustang GT, designed to provide precise and satisfying gear changes. This latest revision replaces the factory steel mounting rail with a robust billet beam for improved shifter location and incorporates upgraded rear mounting bushings to minimize deflection during aggressive shifting. At its core, the internal shift lever mechanism pivots on a premium spherical bearing that has undergone extensive testing, demonstrating resilience beyond 1.5 million shifts without failure. A unique Steeda feature, the 2-position adjustable handle height allows drivers to customize the shifter for an ideal combination of reduced throw length and ergonomic reach. This shifter is engineered to prevent damage to the transmission and linkage under demanding use, with a particular benefit of ensuring drivers can reliably engage 3rd gear. Unlike some competitors, it avoids complicated adjustments and does not use rubber on the main shifter shaft, which can wear out and mask noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH). Furthermore, it avoids nylon bushings in the pivot, which are prone to wear; the Tri-Ax has been tested to 1.5 million shifts with no measurable wear. The design focuses on delivering a proper shorter throw that makes shifting easy, avoiding the increased effort and discomfort found in some extremely short shifters. It provides a natural shifting feel, offering a far more pleasant and direct experience than stock. Installation is recommended to be performed by a technician and is estimated to take approximately 1.5 hours using basic shop tools. The package includes the Steeda Tri-Ax Short Throw Shifter, along with necessary bushings and installation hardware.
