Easy Shifter mod to make Tri-ax reachable

[justice]

I hated the stock shifter and even the Tri-Ax, though better, was still too much of a reach to be comfortable especially when power shifting
I made this bracket which moved the handle 1/4" to the left and almost 2" back.
Its easy to reach and works great

works for the stock shifter as well

Do you find it's harder to hit the gears quick like that?

 

[justice]

Works for me

Much easier.
The shifter position is within easy reach
I don't like crowding the steering wheel when driving and this just makes it more like the ergonomics of the newer stangs

Nice! I'm going to try this out.

I am going to give the steeda comfort pro handle a try. It does the same thing plus it makes it like about 2 inches taller for more leverage and moves it over about 1.5 inches to the left. I read a while back that most of the guys that where shifting like bad asses in vids and stuff where running longer throw rather than shorter throw for more leverage. If that does not do it for me then I will try out the rock crusher stick from UPR. That one looks pretty bad ass also.

Hey kinda off topic, but what's that switch you got there in place of the coin holder?

I something like this off a guy on here about 3 years ago for cheap. Worked great!

Clever and pretty cool, still doesn't take away from the notchiness (SP?) that I hate with my TRI-AX though.

I did that same thing in my Mach 1 but I angled the stick back a little as well. I'm also using the chrome Hurst stick which puts it back even furthur. This is it in neutral.
