Drivetrain Short throw shifter for Tremec TKX?

[Gunmonkey]

I have a Tremec TKX in my 93 notch. The factory shifter that came with it isn't bad, but I've always had short throw shifters (Hurst, Steeda, etc) in my foxes so I'm going to change it out soon. So far the only companies I've found who make them are Hanlon Motorsports, Silver Sport Transmissions, and American Powertrain. Does anyone here have experience with any of those shifters?

I'm really surprised that MGW hasn't done a shifter for the TKX yet.

Yep, I figured they'd be one of the first to have one out for the TKX. Hurst too. I'd never heard of Hanlon, SST, or American Power Train making shifters until I started looking things up.

I ordered the Silver Sport Transmissions STX shifter

No problem. Car is out getting a Holley Terminator X installed and a retune. I'll install the shifter when I get it back.

Shifter just arrived. definitely seems like a robust unit.

Took them awhile. I already got the STX from silver sport in. Doing it while I restore and dynamat my interior, so I haven’t had a chance to try it yet except for a short drive around my neighborhood.

Yeah surprised it took so long. TKX has been out a couple years now?

Is the blue doo hickey to move the shift lever into a better position?

Yes. It rotates 360 and uses a pinch type connection on the shaft. The shifter handle is the same way. Will rotate 360 degrees and you just tighten the pinch clamp. Gives you a lot of flexibility in where you adjust it to sit.

That's MGW's "thing".
