RE: Installed MGW shifter
I also bought an MGW and it's fantastic. Be aware that if you order from the website as I did, there is no way of picking which handle length you'll get. I've seen where they offer a blue (super short) and an orange (regular short) but unless I missed it, they offer only the orange on the site. There is a comment section on the order form where I typed "blue short extention please" but I got an orange. I'd suggest a phone order if you want the blue really short one. I'm keeping the orange as it's very close to what the Hurst felt like in my old 5.0 LX and I can't imagine streatching for anything shorter. After setting the stops, don't forget to try reverse (under power) before putting everything back together as 2nd and 4th worked fine but reverse took an extra turn out on the stop before it would stay in.

what did you do with the stops? i herd someone say that the directions say to back them all the way out on the 3650 tranny because it has internal stops.

RE: Installed MGW shifter
Congrats on the shifter man. I have been wanting one too, and I heard the same raves about it from other guys in our area. Now you got me thinking about it, I may get one. Im taking the car out this weekend and going shooting with one of my buddies. If you are a handgun person, we should meetup and hit the range than take in lunch. I want to see that shifter, and Im sure you want to see what the 4.10s can do. Let me know.
