Steeda Tri-Ax Short Throw Shifter - 11-12

This is an excellent shifter. Gone are the missed gears, the grinding, wondering if you found reverse or not. This shifter makes driving a manual fun again. Super easy 2-3rd gear shifts, short throw and no difference in NVH over stock, might even be quieter than stock but I can't prove it.

Finally I got my Tri-Ax Shifter and had it installed at the Steeda campus in Pompano Beach today. On the way home I had ample opportunity to get a feel for the new shifter, and I must say, I'm extremely impressed, as with all other Steeda parts I have on my new 5.0. I finally feel that I actually have control over the shifts, versus the rather flimsy OEM stock shifter. The premium shift ball fits perfectly and unless you shift, you wouldn't notice the difference. The shifter height seems to be the same as stock as well. I guess I have to re-learn my shifting when backing up, as I was so used to the stock set-up and very light spring. It's much more difficult with the Steeda shifter to get the car in reverse by accident, which is a big bonus!
I would highly recommend this modification to anyone want to get control over precise shifts... Another awesome "must have" product from Steeda!

BTW: Thanks Gus for taking such care of me once again!!! I love this place!!!

Installed on a 2011 V6. easy install. Great 2-3 shift. The new reverse takes a little getting used to since ford went with the push down and up-over movement (foreign cars)for reverse...the shifter kit comes with some extra springs that will gelp adjust the pressure needed for reverse. overall, great shifter

This shifter is a must needed modification for the 11-12 Mustangs..the stock shifter is way too sloppy and has too much play. You wont miss a gear with this shifter! BEST MOD!

this shifter makes the mustang a extremely solid shifter no problems and the best 2-3 shift
cant say enough about the quality and price thanks steeda

I've read that one of the first things that should be done to improve the 2011 5.0 Mustang is to replace the stock shifter. I can't say I was impressed with the stocker, but I didn't think it was that bad. Still, I knew of Steeda's reputation from years of reading the top two Mustang magazines (MM&FF and 5.0 Mustang and Super Fords). So I ordered one for my Coyote and after letting it sit around for about three weeks, installed it yesterday. The instructions were clear and concise, warning of any areas to be wary of. The swap was an exercise in things "gone right" instead of the all-to-often result of wishing that I had paid someone to do it.
The difference was amazing and made me realize just how poor the stock shifter really is. The construction was beautiful and the feel is most impressive. It is everything and more that the Steeda folks claim.
Now I have the problem of deciding which Steeda suspension set-up I will buy next.

A few months after getting my 2011 5.0 I took it to the strip only to embarrassingly hit 5th instead of 3rd on 2 of my 8 runs (funny thing is it still ran a 13.7 when I kept my foot in it!) I never once did this in my '09 so I was looking for improvement. I had my doubts about how much "just a lever" could do, but this Steeda unit exceeded my expectations handily. The notchiness is nice without the effort being too high, the stock ergonomics remain intact, and --my favorite part-- there's way more steel here than the stock shifter so you get a just-right amount of gear noise telegraphed into the cabin 1st thru 4th. (Not overbearing, mind you.) This was my first Steeda purchase and I'm really happy with the quality, effectiveness and customer service. Still waiting for the full thaw here in Michigan to get back to the dragway, however several back-road runs with a no-lift 2nd to 3rd shift were perfect. I gotta be honest and say the reverse lockout is a bit finicky compared to stock, but in fairness I haven't played with the adjustable (lockout) spring rates yet. 5 Stars for sure!

The factory piece had too much slop and travel . This is just right. The 1-2 shift is very fast and rowing the gears is greatly improved. The quality is amazing.

Huge difference from the stock shifter. Very precise and has shorter throws. The 2-3 shift is very easy and doesnt miss. Just as quiet as the stock shifter too.

I've used Steeda shifters in all my Mustangs and I've loved them! Starting with my 87 Mustang, my former 96 Cobra, and now my current 2011 Mustang GT. This shifter is amazing!!! I thought the stock shifter was pretty good for once on my 2011 and was not sure how much better it could get. This shifter is WAY ahead of the stock one and I'm very happy I took the plunge and got it. It tightens things up nicely, makes the throw much shorter but still shifting nice and smooth. It is not notchy at all. It also makes the 2nd to 3rd shift a breeze! This is my 3rd Steeda shifter and none of them have ever disappointed me. Steeda ROCKS!!!
