awesome! Nice short precise throws no more row boat 1-2 shifts. It is tight at first but will loosen up a bit.

My only compliant would be that even in gear you can more the shifter around if that makes any sense...

your going to get about 100.. YES THEY ARE THE GREATEST SHIFTER... Triangle, How much play go you have in each gear? Same thing happend to me when i installed the B&M but i left the little Plastic Cap on the Bottom of the OLD SHifter (didnt know i had to Transfer it). Made a world of Difference.


BTW- Who sells MGW Shifters for the TKO600--Im sure alot of people but someone with good shipping and Track Record?

+1, the glide button must be moved from the OEM shifter to the MGW (or any any aftermarket shifter)...

LOL, that sucks.. I missed it on mine aswell. Went for a Drive, Every Gear felt like it was in neutral... Then went home and saw that CAP on the Bottom of the Stock Shifter!!! now all is good! PM me your Address... I have my B&M Shifter for sale(I will take the Cap off of it, since who ever buys the Shifter still has their stock one) I will mail my Cap(if i still have it) to yah!

Hey. I just picked one of these up myself. The install was really easy. I didn't forget to transfer my plastic cap. In the instruction book, it was on a bright yellow sticker telling me to do so. Its a big change having this shifter. And there is no missing 3rd. I really like it. Hope you enjoy it!
