So I've had my MGW as probably my first mod. Now that I'm going to the track really often i'm noticed for several months now that the MGW is pretty hard to get into 3rd when you are banging gears. Basically it seems like you gotta give it a lot of rightward effort otherwise it will jam inbetween the 1st and 3rd shift gates. I've spoken to several people about this before and they all seem to agree. One of my friends with an 01 cobra had a tri-ax and then switched to the MGW and mentioned that he has to pay a bit more attention to bang into 3rd.

I feel like I wanna try another shifter. I know the MGW will probably be the smoothest but I want something good for the track. I'm thinking of trying a pro 5.0 with a tri-ax handle (since I don't like how the pro 5.0 handle points the shift knob directly at you). Anyone got any suggestions?

Thanks,
Brandon
