What's the best shifter???

[Cacaman]

MGW has a handle that can be adjusted 360 degrees. It also has the assurance that the shift is in gear because it seems to "click" into place. Couldn't pay me to switch it out

So thats what that $30 handle does?

 

[Stangdriver13]

No, i'm pretty sure that handle is for the stock shifter not the one that you would get if you bought the whole shifter itself

Ahhh...thanks. So in that case ill just order the shifter alone. Thanks

 

[Stangdriver13]

On the sight it will clearly show the shifter with an bright orange handle that is what you will get

I've had my Tri-ax since '02 on my GT and then on my Mach 1, I love it. I say go with whatever is cheaper between this or MGW, or get a Triax with a MGW handle.

what's the best sounding exhaust?

what gears are best?

how much did your supercharger cost?

can i put a cobra blower on my gt?

Am I the only one with a Hurst? Well anyway I like it.

One more question for those of you who have the mgw. The site offers this "Inner Dust Boot" Mustang Shifter Inner Dust Boot. Is that something you all would recommend, or do i just get the shifter alone?

 

[Crzyhrse]

If it's something that is recommended I never got it. My shifter works great.

 

[Stangdriver13]

The stock one works fine so thats up to you. Do what you want

 

[Wolvrin704]

As you can see the top recommended are Tri-ax and MGW. For myself I will soon be buying one as well and I'm going MGW.

Here's another question. How many people are using a T-handle? I saw a picture of one in a new edge recently and I've become intrigued about using a t-handle. Any pros or cons to it? I've never used one before and didn't know how comfortable it is or is not.

I like the factory shifter on the 04 cobra. I have no problem hitting shifts

I have always had Pro 5.0 shifters, but lately the craze is the MGW's. I have been debating switching over to an MGW but can not justify spending $$ on a new shifter when I alread have one haha

Check out MGW.com i think is thier websight, you wil not regret it!

I did exactly what you are contenplating! Stick with your Pro 5.0 if it works good and your happy. I switched it out for a MGW and I really do not notice a difference. The MGW is good and the Pro 5.0 was good.

Both nice shifters for a 3650 tranny. But as someone has stated MGW seems to be the flavour of the month!

Tri-ax with shifter gaskets. Silent shifter and easy to mix.

What I don't like about the MGW is that I can put a good shifter handle. A short handle that rotates does nothing for me. The shorter the handle the less leverage you have. So I had to get the UPR rockcrusher shifter handle.

Since I have to sit with the seat all the way back, this is perfect for me. I suppose if you are shorter then 6', then its not too much of a reach.

I have a hurst that is at least 10 yo, cuz I took it out of my old '86 gt. I like it quite a bit. The only other shifter I've used besides that one was some kind of B&M that was in my buddies fox body with a "T" handle. I dont know if it was the shifter, or the way you have to grab the "T" handle, but it felt like absolute garbage in my hand. Couldn't hit a 3rd gear shift to save my life. (Maybe the fact we had been out for a couple drinks played a role in that though)

 

[blksq10psi]

TRI-AX all the way!!!! its impossible to miss 3rd with that bad boy!!!

When a customer asks I recommend the pro 5.0

 

[mustang50v8]

When a customer asks I recommend the pro 5.0

you should start recommending the tri-ax

 

[4tun8]

you should start recommending the tri-ax

You should give me a call so we can get a supercharger on that beast.
