Know of many that had this happen?

I started my drive home from work today. I got on it to get in traffic... made a quick shift to second and pop!!! I had no more gear! Thankfully I was able to coast into a parking lot and had a co-worker give me a ride home.
When I moved the shifter I felt nothing... couldn't feel any gear anywhere. I could move the shifter anywhere I wanted so I'm thinking... did I actually just break the shifter and not a shift fork or something more serious??? No way I thought.
Well, here it is...



Steeda Triax I had for about 3 years. Think it's time for a MGW shifter. :beer:

Oops.....

 

[TERMIN8TR]

throw it in a box and send it to steeda with a wtf? letter

 

[keblmo]

looks like steedas might be hard to get in gear....go with mgw

 

[FlaSeaDude]

There's probably more of a problem here than the shifter. Whenever you have to apply enough force to shift that it will break the shifter, something is not right in either your tranny or your clutch setup... :dw:

 

[twhitey]

Were you pulling or pushing hard? Trying to slam gears or normal driving?

 

[golfprowanabe]

I didn't shift all that hard, but also it wasn't a granny shift. I just suspect that the cast steel, which you can see had lots of air pockets it it, just naturally gave way. I even use the stops so it wasn't just a hard shift. More like a bad cast of the metal.

Wow, glad I bought a mgw...refund FTW from Steeda

[wy3134]

I broke the handle on my tri ax but never the ball off like that. Send it back i got a new handle after i wrote them an email about how pissed off i was. I had to drive home from the track with a vice grips for a handle.

Man when that shifter was new back in 2003 and 2004 it was highly regarded like the MGW. So I bought it. Then "Stop the press" MGW makes the best shifter on the market.

I need to upgrade to the MGW also at some point. What can I get for the Tri-Ax?? $200 down the drain

[20psirabbit]

if nothing else, you should at least break steeda's chops about that broken shifter, especially if the casting is full of air pockets. that's BS :nonono:

Hey hey Jake.... whats up!!! Ha yeah I guess I better lay off the weights!
I heard you run 10 flat now! Damn!

Funny they said it's billet steel. Weird though because the look of that break is consistent with cast metal.

 

[TermySnake]

man... u must be HULK! to be able to do that SH!T.

 

[BlownAway03]

I must be crazy because I had an MGW and got rid of it for a Tri-Ax.....and yes it was on purpose. I didn't like the MGW all that much.
