I hear alot about the pro5.0 being used on our cars. With tko600!

Just wanted to know if any one is useing something else or is that the only/best shifter to use?

Also what shifter bar/handle is most used?
I'am trying to order all my parts, and would like the best options to choose from. any one? THANKS

 

ive been looking at the tri-ax, i think its from steeda, the handle even looks like it will work. Im using the modified stock hurst with a straight stick, it works well but its now very smooth.

Thanks 86TA. I was also looking at that tri-ax. But was unsure if it would work or fit, being its for a mustang.
Their seem to be alot of shifters for the mustangs.

 

the tko trans is a design mainly used in mustangs from teh factory

its the right shifter as far as the location where it bolts to the trans, and the stick looks like it will fit and work nicely. I just dont know anyone with one. I was thinking about getting one when the rest of my current projects are together.

 

I have the steeda tri-ax... love it to death. Perfect fit on the lowest handle setting. The higher one hits the front of the stock 3rd gen shift plate if the foward shift stop is not set perfect.

I swapped out to a 4th gen dash/console and had fiberglass over the auto plate so needless to say mine fits even better.

 

do you have any pictures of this in the console?

 

Hey, 86z. What shifter are you useing?

Also I came across this shifter at mgwltd.com. Looks cool! Wonder if it will work also?

 

I only have pics of it installed in with the 4g console

 

I had the tri-ax in a fox body stang. Great product IMO. Would love to see it on top of a tko in a third gen.

 

i want to try this shifter handle with the pro 5.0 shifter on my tko 600 i think it will work without the 2.5" offset plate

looks like it will be fine.

 

I have a Tremec TKO 500 with a Pro 5.0 base and a Steeda Tri-Ax handle with a hurst round ****.


Love it so far, you can feel the gears and its in a comfortable location

 

i bought this shifter handle do not get it...its MUCH SMALLER then it appears in photo...so tiny i didnt have time to send it back so i just cut off the head of a bolt welded it on and painted it...and you honestly would not know...its about 3-4 inches to short...but it will work if you extend the upper portion that amount...it also wont bolt to stock tremec shifter without drilling the holes bigger...im just going to by the steeda triax shifter 86ta pointed out and someone else said they have it...i like pro 5.0 shifters but no good stick for a tko 600 application for our cars...all has to be modded

 

Sorry to bring this thread back to life, but has anyone used the Steeda Tri-ax shifter with the TKO in the 3rd gen car?

 

did you even read the thread?

 

im using it. It works but the stick is too short and you have to lengthen it at least an inch to keep it from hitting the console in 2-4-r

 

.

 

Thanks 86ta, that was the info I was looking for, did you try the Pro 5.0 as well. I am trying to decided which would be a better choice. Also 86ta are you using the stock bellhousing with the adapter plate

 

i have not used the pro 5.0, just the stock offset jurst and the tri-ax. I may just make my own handle for the tri-ax, i kinda want it a little higher yet. Maybe another 1/2 inch

im using the lakewood 3rd gen explosion proof bell and the adapter plate.

 

so 86ta do you like the feel of the shifter alot better than the stock piece? Was it worth it for the money? also would a hurst stick bolt up to it? Thanks, im just tired of the slop in the stock 600 shifter. After having the hurst pro billet on my t5 the tko feels like im shifting a big truck lol

 

i never found the stock hurst shifter to have any slop at all, so i dont know what your talking about there. But it is clunky, but then again, the trans is a bit clunky.

The tri-ax is a bit smoother, and i do not believe a hurst stick will bolt to it, but honestly i didnt try. I picked up the tri-ax for just a little over 90 bux, so it was worth every penny, they cost about 200 new. I think its an improvement, but not sure if its worth 200 bux to try it.
