Unlike other heavy-duty shifters, Steeda didn't just copy their T-5 shifter onto a Tremec base. The entire shifter mechanism was re-engineered to have the correct pivot ratio and spring tension for the beefier Tremec transmission. Your Tremec isn't the same inside as a T-5. Why should your shifter be?

Steeda did keep the patented features that make the Tri-Ax the most popular shifter in the market. From the ergonomically comfortable Tri-Ax handle to the third gear assisting Offset preload mechanism. You can be sure this shifter will perform as you've come to expect a Tri-Ax shifter to perform. Giving you no miss 3rd gear shifts, short throws, and a positive, confident feel.

The Steeda Tri-Ax stick shift handle combines the quick shifts of a short handle shifter lever with an easy to reach, ergonomic design. The exclusive three axis bend positions your hand perfectly, for short, precise, and comfortable shifts. (You won't have to bend over to reach 5th gear like you do with those other handles)..

As a result of Steeda's never ending search to provide the very best performance parts, all Tri-Ax manual transmission handles are now Forged from high strength aluminum alloy. The new forging features a tapered thread boss and military spec radius-root threads to increase strength by over 70%. This high-strength light weight design reduces inertia, for quicker and more precise shifts than are possible with bulky steel handles.

The Tri-Ax handle fits the stock 5 speed T-5 & T-56 shifter as well as many other popular shifters, and is standard equipment on Steeda's complete Tri-Ax billet shifter assemblies for 1979-2004 stick shift Fox body, SN95, and New Edge Ford Mustangs.

The Tremec TKO 500 and TKO 600 transmissions are the hot ticket for high horsepower applications, but they lack a stop bolt in the shifter to prevent over-stressing the linkage during hard shifts. While the TKO gears have a built in stop to prevent over engagement, all of the linkage between the gear and the shifter is still subject to severe shock loading.

The shift forks, roll pins, and rails have been known to bend or break from hard shifts. Steeda's Stop Bolt Kit absorbs the shock load and protects the shift linkage from damage. The kit includes a new shifter top with built in adjustable stops and complete instructions for installation and adjustment.

Note: This part only works on the old Tremec Shifter design. In late spring/early summer 2009, Tremec began shipping TKO transmissions with a different shifter than earlier designs. The old shifter had a 2-piece base that was red anodized. The new shifter has a 1- piece base that is powder coated wrinkle red.
