Hello Again.
I was looking for some Short Throw shifters and I've narrowed it down too two of them pretty much.
And those two would be The one offered from BBK
Heres the link if some of you aren't familiar with it:
http://www.bbkperformance.com/products/gripp-suspension-components/gripp-billet-short-shifter/83-00-t-5-t-45-performance-short-throw-shifter.html

And of Course the Steeda Tri-Ax.

I've heard Great things about the Tri-Ax, But other than the information provided on the BBK website i'm a little unfamiliar with that one.

I was wondering if anybody has had experience with both to leave a little feedback.
Any information will help!
Thanks!

Tri-AX

When it comes to shifters for our cars, there's only really three worth it from what I've heard. Tri-AX, Pro 5.0, and the MGW. Heard a little bit about the B&M one too... but don't hear much about the BBK so I'd stay away.

Get the tri-ax... I bought a b&m "sport" shifter, and it looks identical to that bbk thing. Im not happy with it, yes its better than stock but there is
more to be desired. Especially since the steeda is the same or close in price! I plan on buying the tri-ax in the near future.

Thank you fellas
After reading up some more on the Tri-Ax and reading your guy's inputs I think thats what i'm going to go with.
It just seems like the better option.
Thanks A lot!

i had a triax in my fox car and hated it.... could hardly ever hit 3rd and sometimgs 4th..... put a stock base with the triax handle on and diddent have another problem... i currently have a mgw and LOVE it.... ive had pretty much all of them except a pro 5.0 and so far the mgw seems to be the best...

i would personally rather just spend the extra $20-$30 and buy one that i know will be good not saying the summit one is crap or anything

You can use the stock boot w/ all of them. The only one that you cant use the stock knob on is the MGW
