New shifter install

1. It's a piece of cake. Should cone with easy instructions.
2. Steeda TriAx
3. You can add a small insulator (thin piece of rubber) if it bugs you, but the noise is only noticable for the first run therough the gears. After than you won't care a bit!

Its pretty trivial, pop off the trim piece, then its 4 bolts with a ratchet, and pull it out.

Here's a link that will help you....

short throw is fine... my girlfriend is 5'1 and she reaches it with no problems.

I'm only 5'5" and have little short arms. The shorter works fine for me.

I did put a little more extended knob on mine, as you can see from the first photo.

Imho, the best shifter on the market right now is the MGW:

It's the same price as the others but it several dandy features and is really quiet. Furthermore, the nice folks at MGW are simply great to deal with. I've had mine for a couple of weeks now and I love it.

Get the Steeda tri-ax and a gasket to put between the shifter and the transmission. This GREATLY reduces the noise. You won't believe how much better the car will shift with the Tri-ax. And, yes, you CAN do it yourself. It's easy.

I'd rather change one on a Fox. In the '97, I could *barely* get at the front bolts for the boot with a combo wrench and could only get 1/16th of a turn on it, and they're machine threaded... so it took forever to get them out. In the Fox, I think there's enough room after getting the boot off to at least get a ratchet on the damn thing.

Actually, come to think of it, I pulled a Tri-Ax off of my old '90 LX 5.0 convertable to put on my '97 Cobra 10 minutes later. The LX felt shamed... or maybe it was the rides with the top down and the dog slobbering on the dash that did it.

Having the right tools is all the work here. An extension with a joint in it will help a lot. That or a short extension. Just take your time, it's easy.
