Short Throw Shifters
 

Hey;

Just wondering what the best aftermarket short throw shifter is out there?
I was looking at HURST but cannot find any online?

Anyways, let me know what some of you have and if you would recommend or not...

Thanks!:)

2004 GT

In my 03 Mach I have used a Pro 5 and now have a MGW, both are about the same which is good. Nice shifting and no issues. Most people say that MGW is better and that is why I switched the Pro 5 out but I can not tell the difference between the 2 of them!

i'm currently running a steeda tri-ax short throw, on my v6 and i was quite happy with that one, so i'm getting another steeda tri-ax for my 99 4.6L

i love it, haven't missed a shift yet

Steeda here:tup

Pro 5.0 shifter. Have used it in all my mustangs :)

eBay search for pro 5.0 shifters


Join the darkside! :wiggle:

just switched to mgw. from what i hear they is the shiz. but i havnt been able to drive my car yet so we will see.

So basically what I am hearing is that Pro 5, Steeda, and MGW seem to be great shifters and really cant go wrong with any of the 3...problem free..No complaints?...

And has anyone ever tried the Hurst in a mustang?...

Any other tips I should know?

Thanks Everyone!

Hurst seems to be a good one also. Over at some other sites I have read some good reviews on them. Here is a pic of one in a Mach. If you want retro this is the one to get for sure. Here is a pic of my MGW with a Hurst ball and button for the line lock.

personally i would stay away from pro 5.0. i busted mine three friggin times at the track. i think IMO they are junk.

Does anyone know where I can purchase HURST products?
I personally LOVE the look of that shifter in the above pic...The white knob, chrome stick and the boot are sweet...

hurst shifter kit for under 200 bucks shipped... not bad... wonder what the duty is

Yeh, mine is a 2004 though, I cant find them anywhere online?

here it is: eBay Motors: Hurst Shifter w/ Chrome stick 83-04 Ford Mustang T5 T45 (item 360115251255 end time Dec-16-08 18:30:03 PST)

If it is a 2004 Gt with a Tremec 3650 tranny the one in your link will not work

Here are some links to look at.

Hurst Billet Plus SST Shifter - 5.0 Mustang & Super Fords Magazine

Go to this site, Intro (teamshinoda.com)click on online store and you will see the product on the first page.

Check with Pat at steeda.ca to see if he can get this for you. I am sure his price will be better.

The guy that has this listing said this would work on a 2004 gt...but he said you cant get the HURST boot to fit it?...IDK what my tranny is...?

Ive played with many shifters and the best one out there is the Steeda Tri-ax best shifter I have ever seen! and it blows the pro 5.0 shifter up in the sky.
Pretty much garenteed to never miss 3rd gear again!

The one that you posted would fit and the 04 Mustangs came with a TR3650

The Tri-ax and Pro 5.0 are the two best shifters on the market IMO. I never really liked the feel of hurst or B&M.

I had a Hurst in my 94 GT it was alright, I love my B&M shifter in my 2002 GT but am seriously thinking of switching to a MGW because I hear nothing but good things.

steeda tri-ax

SO
Steeda Tri-Ax And MGW are, from the posts, the favorite 2
The MGW has stops, and a lifetime warranty on the handle, and its states it is the quietest A/M shifter...
Steeda looks to have a better/more comfortable position?

Steeda
 

It is hard to comment on the different brands but I have the Steeda tri-ax and it is great , very positive shifts and combined with Royal purple transmisson fluid I am very happy . Des

i finnaly got my mgw installed, i think its very comfy in its position but i havnt had the joy of trying it out. we got walooped with snow so itll be awhile before i see what its like. mgw for the win i think. :tup

personally, IMO i think you'd be pretty happy with either.:tup I have the tri-ax and love it, but wouldn't mind trying an MGW...

ive never had anything but MGW in my stangs and they worked amazing!

+1 for MGW

that crome hurst shifter is a kit that is around 80 buxs. MOPAC in langley, BC has them. I'll be buying one soon but I should tell you that it's just a boot, knob, stick. You'll still need the shifter itself. It's goes for around 150.

IF you really want it I can help you get it from out here. Since I would buy one myself I could send it to ya via COD. Then I'd just take the coin and go get myself another.

lemme know... I work 5 blocks from mopac.

I am leaning towards the Steeda Tri-Ax
But I am liking the reviews on the MGW
If I purchase the Steeda Tri-Ax it will be from Mustang Parts & Performance - American Muscle
But where can the MGW be purchased?

Thanks again for all the reply's
VERY VERY HELPFUL!!!

B&M here aswell!!Been in my GT since the day i brought her home in '03!

I've got the Hurst Super Short Throw in my fox. I really like it. No missed shifts at the track so I'm happy. And the retro look is cool - my shifter matches the factory one in my Dad's '71 Mach1!!

But where can the MGW be purchased?

I use a steeda, wouldn't trade it for anything, just installed it a few weeks ago. great quality.

I to have a HURST short throw with an 8 ball on it

I used to have a Pro 5.0 shifter in my old 88 and loved it,... allen screws for adjustment,... really nice shifter.

GOOD DEAL?

I still havent found any place online where I can get the MGW?


And would I need gaskets, which are optional in the drop down menu?

Smart man!!!
Tri-ax im tellin ya is the best, you will love it. Its so damn tight and the feel is....well I dunno its just there :)

You can only get the mgw from mgw themselves. MGW LTD., INC. - CNC Machined and Turned Parts. Accessories for the Corvette, Mustang, and Viper

i run a hurst with the black poolball grip and love it ,i picked it up from performance improvements!

I installed a MGW in my 2004 Cobra and I really didn't feel much difference.Clutch may need some adjustment.
