Reply With QuoteYes this is normal and also be aware that it is normal to bend shifting
forks when forced. I suggest a good after market shifter with adjustable
stops. Steeda's Tri-Ax, Pro 5, B & M among others are good choices running
about $150 to $200.

Can't "Speed Shift" my T5.....
...... SOB SUCKS! :>(
When I DO try to "Speed Shift" from 1-2, the shifter feels like it's
jamming up and HARD to engage 2nd gear.
Under normal and "spirited" driving conditions, the OEM shifter shifts OK.
But during Speed shifting, it just plain SUCKS.
Is this normal for the OEM shifter and will an aftermarket shifter
alleviate this problem ??

Once you get the funds and get the new shifter in, update us on how it went.
We all love hearing abut success stories when changing something to a Stang.

I've got two. Now if the T-45 in the Cobra wasn't such a piece of shit, I'd
be happier. ;-)
The T-5 in the LX on the other hand seems to be quite healthy.

Re: Can't "Speed Shift" my T5.....
I agree with the T-45 and stock shifter. I nearly pulled the shifter out of
the tranny tonight at the strip. Miss third once (lot of grinding) against
a '03 vette too - cost me the race... However, I do have a Tri-Ax although
still in the box. But, with the season over I'll be installing that next.

Re: Can't "Speed Shift" my T5.....
Leave the Tri-Ax in the box and put a T-56 in the car.
I have a '97 Cobra as well. The Tri-Ax makes it a much nicer shift and I
love the shifter, but it doesn't help you hit second... maybe third just a
hair. But, if you're already out grinding gears, the synchros are just
about done for by now.
My T-45 is just biding its time until I can afford an '03 drivetrain, or at
least transmission setup. A T-56 and a real clutch would do my car some
good. Maybe then I could hit 2nd hard without the inevitable crunching
noise that even occurs when it drops right in. Car's been like that since I
bought it at 24k miles.
