[PSCBrenden]

I just ordered a Tri-ax for my 04GT should i have ordered new bushings/gasket or whatever?

just go and buy some permatex black silicone or get the red high temp both work just as good.

Nothing else is necessary, except for the silicone as tangerine noted. The only other thing you need (and hopefully already have) is a good socket set and maybe a foot long piece of 2X4 (seriously) to help break the seal of your old shifter from the transmission - but yours being an 04, it shouldn't be too tough at all.

I just installed my new shifter today. In order to get the stock shifter off, all I did was re-install the stock handle, and gave the whole thing a yank to the side. the shifter popped right off. I love the new shifter, huge improvment over the stock shifter.
