Make sure to buy the bracket and shifter. The bracket is probably more important to getting a better shifting car. The stock rubber POS will mess up your shifts and cause slop even with an MGW shifter.

This is my first manual car, and definitely the first time I've looked at a shifter, so if I can do it, you can. Just watch the video they include beforehand, then use it as your step-by-step instructions to do it yourself. It's incredibly easy. After having done this and all my own mods (listed in my "garage"), I don't know why I ever used to pay someone else.

I believe you can only buy it direct from MGW, but the price of entry is worth it, as others will chime in and tell you.

Have you seen the U-Tube? It's shows step by step and it's not as hard as you think, unless you have to start removing other parts. If you can screw it up and still get to work the next day try it.

A straight driveshaft and a steel braided clutch-line will help the shifts also.

I will even take the Mustang in for oil changes now . I used to do routine stuff like oil changes and new brakes. Now I just don't have a place or equipment to do it.

But anyway, does the bracket I need come with the shifter? Thanks.
