What is the best shifter for a Mach 1?

If you could go ahead and provide evidence of properly adjusted shifter stops causing transmission problems, that would be great.
I think what Stan was saying is that our trannys do not need them. In fact, your shifter installation for the 3650 says not to use them (the stops on the shifter) because the transmission has internal stops and you could F-it-up. :shrug:

A) My Steeda installation sheet says no such thing.
B) It's impossible to screw it up if the stops are adjusted correctly. You could damage ANY transmission if you don't know how to adjust the stops which apparently some people don't.

Read step number 10 and especially the bold section appearing after section f.

Maybe that's why MGW's the best because they clearly mark it on their installation instructions. I am not bashing the Steeda Tri-Ax because I think Steeda makes some really great products. I guess we are going to need to get an expert on here before you will believe us...:bash:
Here is a thread for you to read scroll down to the fifth post and find out why you should not use the stops provided with your shifter.

MGW and that's all there is to it. Period.
The point I'm making is that they aren't going to harm anything if they're adjusted properly. The 3650 does have internal stops, but that's no reason to not use the shifter stops as long as you know how to properly adjust them.

The point we are trying to make is why use them when you don't need them and only harm could come from them?
What Shifter's have you used outside of MGW?
Can anyone say Underdrive Pulleys?.....(Steeda or anyone?):lol:

I was actually thinking about installing the TORNADO into my intake. I figured with a forced induction car I would pick up like 150 rwhp with that thing. Then I read your post and it made me think..:rockon:

Tell me about it. The stubbornly ignorant are always fun.
Mgw FTMFW! I remember I asked for an mgw short shifter as a chirstmas gift, Well about 3 weeks before Christmas I happened to be home and my parents happened to be at work when the ups delivered the box so I cut the box open O so carfull! then I installed the MGw shifter with blue handle and put the stock shifter in the box and sealed it all back up...ENJOY! when christmas came and I unwrapped the box I couldnt help but smile
Havent been on here for a while, but I have the steeda tri-ax on my first Mach 1 and I just bought the MGW orange handle last week so when it gets here Ill tell you which one is better. Until then, I would only go with Steeda or MGW all the others are junk!

I'll be going with MGW when the time comes.
Do they only make an orange handle?

No...You can order a shorter "RACE HANDLE" for like $30.00 but you have to call them. They don't advertise it on their website. You have to ask for the "non annodized race handle". They used to make a bad azz blue handle. The owner of MGW claims that the "new" race handle is the same but they are just slightly different. I put them side by side and the thread position and angle were a little different. If you are looking for a little bit of a shorter handle then you will need to order the "RACE HANDLE". Here is a picture of my set up with the race handle.
Unless the other shifter manufacturers have finally caught up, another MGW advantage is it's stronger centering springs.
i had steeda tri ax for stock trans, mgw for the t-56
