MGW shifter issue
You know that really Sucks that they won't assist you with a part instead of making you buy a whole new shifter assembly. I bet Hurst or Steeda Would assist you if you had a simular problem. The amount of business MGW gets from the mustang community you would think they would provide quality customer service. But they seem that they are like all of those other companies that will capitalize dollar wise on a misfortunate one. ( It could have been defective on their part ( Ya know) To me that doesn't show quality it shows lack of. And I own a MGW shifter in my 07.
I am Linking this post to MGW and Lets see how their service is once they read the posts. I would think they would want to assist you and OUR Mustang community ans show some Fortitude.

Tassy5, you misinterpreted what the original poster said. He called the Ford dealer to try and get a replacement and not MGW.

Ok, so i was under the car tightening things up, making sure nothing was loose. So i was snugging up the nut on the bolt that goes through the bottom of the shifter, under the car, and it twisted clean off! The end of the bolt broke off and is in the nut. I dont have the stock shifter and its the weekend, and its a daily driver. Is there any temp fix until MGW can send me a new one? That bolt is connected to the arm, right? Its still in there snug but there is nothing on the one side to keep it from coming out. Any suggestions?
Side note, i weigh 155lbs and was using a standard socket set. I wasnt cranking on it with an air tool or anything.

Go to a hardware store and buy a regular bolt and nut of that same diameter (looks like 3/8).
That should get you through the day...
If not, go smaller and sleeve it with tubing or something (Copper tube etc... whatever.)
Good luck buddy.
