Re: Just got it... woohoo

I do think my gt350 is jealous though. I found some oil spots on the ground this morning under her..

Excellent car. I have two suggestions:

1. Mods should include subframe connectors and a Steeda Tri AX shifter.

1. Avoid posting binary data to a non binary newsgroup. It can mess things up for people with slow connections, as well as get the newsgroup kicked off of servers for violating charter.

Enjoy!

Thanks..

I got a message about my pic almost immediately after I posted. Next time ill post a link to my web server..

Whats the advantage of the Tri AX shifter..??

Much better feel and construction. Also it has positive stops on it. Normally in your tranny, the shift forks stop your shifer when they reach the end of their travel. If you shift too hard, you could possibly bend a shift fork. The Tri Ax (and other comparable products) prevent this from happening as well. The main advantage is the shift feel.

I read somewhere that the new Tremec transmission has internal stops to prevent shift fork damage....

I'm not sure, but that's just what I've heard.

Might wanna do some checking. I'd heard that if you had one to just take the stop bolts out of the shifter and just use it to shorten throws and hit third gear better.

In any event, I liked my Tri-Ax so much on my '97 Cobra (took it off of another car to put it on within three days of owning it), I bought another one for the '88 LX that I bought not so long ago with 72k original miles on it. Definately a must-have mod to improve the feel of the car and the ease of which you hit 2nd and 3rd...

It's my understanding that Tremec wants you to remove the shift stops on aftermarket shifters. They seem to think that they cause more harm than good, in that they can create an under-shift condition which can cause the transmission to jump out of gear. All V8 Mustangs since 2001 use the TR3650 trans, so if you get the shifter, remove the stops.

defintely .. the 6 speed I drove definitely has stops. Dave
