Default MGW sts review

For those of you that have the stock shifter, you all are missing out. Its less the two hundred bucks and a super easy install. Second to third shifts are cake and the overall feel is just 100 percent better over the stock one.

Ya I never have liked the stock shifters. Everybody who has ever upgraded to an aftermarket loves them and says how much of an improvement they are from the stock shifter.

STS FTMFW ! Although I love my pro 5.0 I dont get why people have a hard time going from 2nd to 3rd or any gears for that. I blow threw them with ease even with a stock shifter and never grind gears unless Im sitting in drive way drunk pretending to race (I dont really do that ok).

I test drove a 98 cobra once (first time driving a mustang) and totally missed the 2-3 shift.... Boy did I feel like an asshat... But that pretty much settled it for me, as soon as I got my car, it was one of the first things I did.

Like the OP mentioned, for how cheap it is, there is no excuse not to.

+1 - A great universal mod that you'll enjoy every time you drive. I have only tried the mgw, but agree, it's great.
