Steeda Tri-Ax Shifter Installation Instructions
For: 2011+ Mustangs w/ Getrag MT-82 Transmissions
Factory Shifter Removal:
1.
Apply the parking brake and place the car in neutral. If you are not using a hoist, place chocks on both sides
of the rear wheels to prevent any possibility of the car rolling.
2.
From inside the car, unthread the shifter knob.
3.
Open the rear door of the center console and carefully unclip the center console cover from the center
console by prying up between the cover and bar. Gently lift up on the sides of the cover to unclip the rest
of the clips. There are around 6 clips securing the cover to the console. See figures 1 and 2.
Note: The leather shifter boot collar has two small FRAGILE plastic ears securing it
to the upper lever. Care MUST be taken to gently slide the collar up the lever
while lifting off the center console/shifter boot, or the ears will break
off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Note: Be sure to disconnect the electrical connectors for the traction control, and cupholder
illumination, if so equipped.
4.
Set the center console aside, pull the sound deadening/insulating fabric over the shifter lever and fold it
back behind the shifter and rubber boot, out of the way. See figure 3
5.
Carefully lift the rubber boot up and off the shifter lever, shifter base, and the floor pan to expose the
shifter assembly.
Note: Be sure to note how the boot fits on the upper lever, floor pan, and shifter base prior to
removal.
Note: Mark the boot's orientation to the floor pan for re-installation purposes. The boot is not simply
round and must be oriented in place.
6.
From under the car, remove the two 10mm nuts securing the rear shifter bushing and shifter assembly to
the floor pan. Lower the shifter assembly and gently pry the bushing from the rear of the shifter assembly
(noting its orientation) and set it aside. Allow the shifter assembly to rest on the driveshaft. See figure 4.
7.
From back inside the car, remove the four 10mm head bolts securing the shifter mechanism to the shifter
base. Pull up on the shifter lever and remove the unit. See figure 5.
Note: Be careful not to tear or lose the thin gasket between the shifter and the shifter base.

Feed the Tri-Ax shifter assembly through the floor pan and set it onto the spacer. Note: Be sure the plastic cup, now attached to the Tri-Ax lower lever, is seated properly inside the linkage rail.
