congrats on an awesome shifter

MGW says you dont need the stops since the 3650 has the stops built into the tranny

but you CAN put em in and adjust em........

I used the stops.I followed the directions put tranny into 3rd screw the stop in til it just touches the shifter,back it out one full turn,then follow the same steps for 32nd and 4th.Works great just came back from town it's like night and day diff!!!No more slop in the shifter nice and tight!!!!

I'm beginning to think the prior owner just changed the handle, and I don't actually have the tr-ax shifter itself, because it doesn't feel as good as you guys say other shifters are. Whenever I can waste the money on a mgw, I will.
