Iput my shift stops in. I dont see how it would make is any smoother.

Comparing this short throw to others,I think there are better out there. Maybe it is just a mustang thing, butI doubt every aftermarket shifter is this choppy.

[/align][/align]You are not supposed to install the stops with the 3650 tranny, I specifically asked George at MGW this question and he replied:[/align][/align]

Iwould NOT put them in.I have talked with Tremec in great detail about this and am convinced that they are correct. The tranny has beefy internal stops and does not require the external stops. We mainly put them in for shipping purposes only. We lock the center shaft down so that the shifter will not clang around in shipping. You must remove them prior to installation of the shifter.

I have been trying to tell people MGW sucks since the day I installed mine. It will not "break-in" and will always shift like sh*t. You should have bought the Steeda Tri-Ax. Try shifting an 99+ Camaro SS six-speed transmission with stock Hurst shifter and you willrealize how bad the MGW is.

Wow! That's the first negative comment I've heard about MGW. Everybody else else makes them put to be the shifter God would use if he drove a Mustang.

Popularity of parts will change from forum to forum or web site to web site. You can compare it to when a cattle jumps off a cliff and all the rest fallow which I am guilty of to because I bought one.
