STEEDA TRIAX NOISE

[01blkcovert]

Anybody out there with a triax shifter come up with a fix for the additional noise. I love the feel of the new shifter but not the sound. THNX.

Easy fix: you put some rubber between the handle and the shifter base where they bolt together. That alone takes out 90% of the noise.

Here's the thread: http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=15988

I just did it with the specified silicone rubber and it worked great.

I heard that the MGW handle will greatly quiet the noise too. I actually have a Steeda Tri-Ax and an MGW handle, but they're both sitting in box for now. Need to get some dealer work done before I put them on.

The MGW handle does come with several rubber bushings that are for noise reduction. They have two different thicknesses of rubber washers for light and moderate noise reduction, and they have one large rubber strip for heavy noise reduction. The rubber strip fits between the handle and the shifter. It looks like it would do the job and I suppose you could use a combination of the washers and strip for even more noise suppression.

I used the setup in Postban's picture (MGW on Tri-Ax with big bushing) and although it's slightly louder than stock, it's not bad at all.

I've wrapped electrical tape around the shift handle and that also insulates a lot of the noise.

I did pretty much the same thing with mine back in May. I'm very satisfied.
