I have an MGW shifter and love it except for 1 thing. It seems to bind going into 2nd gear. I was wondering if anybody else has had this issue? I have the CHE K-member brace with torque limiters so torque bind shouldn't be an issue. With that being said, I never have the issue during regular street driving, just during a race at the track. No other gear is an issue, just the 1st to 2nd shift.

I never had this issue with the stock shifter so I'm pretty sure it's a shifter issue.

Thanks for any help you can provide. [/align]

I know, I thought it just needed broken in so I've given it a few months but it's no better. I'm going to take a look under the car this weekend since there isn't a points race to see if I can see why it's doing it. I was hoping someone might have a suggestion or two.

someone might just check to make sure you got that end longer end facing the driver side i also herd once that someone had the tq limiter to tight and it twisted the tranny

I was thinking about disconnecting the TQ limiters to see what would happen. I'll double check the orientation of the end as well.

good idea if that not the problem then maybe it good be a bad shifter or maybe there could be somethign wrong with the tranny linkage but thats the only things i can think of

How do you like your Hurst? I was thinking about going up to Summit Racing and pick one up if I can't figure it out to see ifI have the same issue.

I have the BMR sway bar delete, after I installed the K-member brace, you can't tell the sway bar is missing. There is a little more NVH with the TQ limiters but other than that, I have no issues unless it is what is causing my shifter issue.

You can't see it unless the car is on a lift so i just ordered the black one.
