Steeda Tri-Ax shifter Install

1. Remove the stock shifter knob, outer shift boot, and auxillary jack(94-98 models) traction control(99+ models).

2. Remove the inner shift boot using a socket set.

3. With a socket set, remove the stock shifters mounting bolts and discard them.

4. With a mallet, tap the stock shifter to break the seal allowing the shifter to come off.

5. Remove shifter, and clean off shifter mount of any excess dirt, and pieces of the gasket.

6. Run a bead of RVT sealant on the shifter mount and install the Tri-Ax with the supplied bolts.

7. Install the shifter handle to the base part of the shifter using the supplied bolts. You can have the handle in the high or
low position.

8.Now you must set the shift stops. Place the shifter in each gear and place a folded index card between the shift handle
and the bolt stop. make sure it is flush with the index card.

9. Repeat this process until all gears are finished. This may require you to take a short test drive to test for proper shifting.

10. Once the shift stops are tightened correctly, re-install the inner shift bolt, and fasten down the bolts.

11. Re-install the auxillary jack(94-98 models) traction control(99+ models), outer shift boot, and shift knob.

This mod will help extend the life of your transmission in your 94-03 Mustang. This will prevent the shift forks from being
damaged.
