Default new shifter.. fun mod..

I just installed the MGW shifter on my 03. on the 3650 tranny.

HUGE difference. i have been drivin w/ the stock shifter for a while..
i think i am enjoyin the mgw more so. it took me a few pulls to get used to it
but its clean..

only two questions for you guys with the mgw, first is does it kind of click, more so like lock in place when you change gears?

its a really solid shifter. short throws..., especially third.

i still managed to scratch 2nd tho. w/ the mgw with a superfast shift.. is that just not enough clutch pressure on my part? or is that just because i have a stock clutch.

Aftermarket shifters are a huge upgrade over stock. I just put my Pro 5.0 on yesterday and was very pleased.

3rd is like that because it's spring loaded to help you along.

The one we put in Nanaki's car was HAWT!

It does feel much sportier. And mine does a little extra clicking into 2nd when its cold too. Is that something wrong with the tranny? Or is it normal?

when its cold.. mine does the same thing. just the strength of the shifter im guessin..
i still think the 3650 SUCKS PEN1S. i mean i shift to fast for it sometimes and i end up scratchin a gear. usually second.

heh.
