Okay, now I'm really interested.

Installation looks to be a pain in the butt, though, as I have big arms and big hands. This might be one for which I would recruit some of my less gorilla-esque friends.

[MENTION=18854]s550_Arctic_Knight[/MENTION] Thanks for the video! I watched it right before I installed tonight. It was super helpful.
For anyone trying this install. I was able to slip the entire assembled lower shifter assembly with the shift linkage through the top. This saved a lot of time and hassle of not having to bolt it all together from under the car. I also did not remove the drive shaft or exhaust.

I was pretty sure I had seen some guys doing that and planned on trying it. I appreciate you confirming that again

Jaime and Jason at Steeda installed my shifter. The did not remove the drive shaft. The only loosened the exhaust at the clamps from the midpipe as slid it back a couple of inches.

The other day doing a WOT pull and i missed 3rd. It didnt go into anything just hit a "wall" and stuck in neutral. Corrected quickly but still im guessing its just from the trans movement. Great video Artic by the way. Just wondering if you guys have done this stock and whats the verdict on this happening with the steeda. Im know i wont be gettinfg a new shifter soon but i like doing research in advance. I am leaning this route and a big reason is Nathon, Todd and Artics reviews. I also prefer this reverse shifting.

I think most everyone has missed the 2-3 shift on the stock shifter. The Steeda shifter will be hard pressed to miss. I have banged on my the last week and it just flows so nicely on the 2-3 shift.

Stock shifter did suck. I have yet to miss a gear with the Tri Ax shifter.
