Aftermarket Shifter

[tapout632]

Do I have an aftermarket shifter on this '01 cobra? Here's a video of the short shifter it doesn't seem stock, I took the base off to try to look under the stick to see a brand but all I saw was this rubber circle. Also I think I might have 4.10 gears because when the speedometer says 100 MPH in reality I'm actually only going around 75MPH or so...so the speedo is off which makes me think I have a different gear ratio. Heres a video of each gears to see if you could recognize anything:

ya, thats a AFTERMARKET shifter, might be a Steeda Tri-Ax,cause mine moves like that also. real stiff and short. or could be a pro 5.0. dunno

I have a pro 5.0 short shifter on my car, and its definately like that. I am 101% positive that you dont have a stock shifter, the pro-5.0 clicks just like that, and the stock one is floppy and quiet... 5.0 or steeda for sure. Same w/ gears

I can't tell you which kind it is, but you can tell it's a short throw just by looking at how crunched up the shifter boot is. My shifter boot looks the exact same way with the Tri- Ax. Although your boot looks more crunched than mine so it may be the Pro 5.0. If the shifter handle is straight,with no bends then it's the pro 5.0. If it has three bends then it's gotta be the Steeda Tri-Ax.

take the boot cover off and look at it so ull know for sure... the triax says "triax" on it and i dont know what the pro50 says

Alright I lifted up the base and kinda looked under the scrunched up material and it does say "Tri Ax" on the steel shifter. Thanks for the info. This is a great shifter.

Very true i have had triax's, pro 5.0's, and none of them have felt like the MGW feels.

Damn you guys are making me wanna get the MGW now, I am very dissatisfied with the tri-Ax, I can never get second gear under hard acceleration. It just doesn' fall into gear like the stock shifter did. It's a shorter throw but does not fall into gear like I thought it should.

The MGW looks nice (actually everything they make is nice), but I can't see replacing my 5.0 when it gets the job done so nicely. Maybe if I feel the MGW I'll change my mind? What makes it so much better?
