Quick question... Has anyone that installed the MGW shifter installed the shift stops with it? Is it worth it or needed? MGW has a warning with the shift stops that say it may cause damage if not installed properly so I'm wondering why install them?
Thanks

George,
I installed them during the original installation of the shifter, since they were basically included with all the beta test shifters. I did however, note the same warning you note. When I changed the centering springs a few weeks ago, I left the shift stops off. (not purposely, admittedly, but did not want to peel the dust boot and sound pad back off....)

My car never sees the track, and I think maybe the shift stops can lead to a bit of false sense of security. For me, there is no notable difference with or without. If I was running at the track on a regular basis, I would probably use them. For me, for street use, really no need that I can see. The shifter is so accurate, can't see missing a shift anyway.... Under heavy shifting, I have yet to feel the urge to over muscle with this shifter.....

Thanks Mike that's what I was thinking. My car never sees the track either so I'm gonna go without. Planning on installing this weekend... I'll let you know how it goes.

Look forward to your review. You're gonna love it......

 

I have kept up with the info on this shifter from the beginning. I have read over and over that George says the stop kit is NOT necessary, and even recommends against using it. The 3650 tranny has internal stops already. I think he designed the stops for anybody that just HAD to have them. I didn't even unwrap mine. I can tell you, you will love this shifter. I am having the issue with the plastic bushings, where it gets stiff when it is hot-but George will be sending out the replacement bushings very soon. I love my MGW!
