Pretty sure he is a tester.

 

Yes, I am one of the 50 testers. So far it's been great and once you get your hands on one, you'll wonder why the other shifters on the market aren't built this way (new base, comes with rear mount, etc.)

 

Where is the video man?

 

There's a good review over on SVTPerformance with a few videos.

 

i was going to post this here as well.What a piece of junk that stock shifter is!Zip ties holding rubber in place on a car that cost this much?Unreal
Makes one wonder how many of the tranny problems are from the shifter.I know there are some real tranny issues but there could be a lot of problems from this design as well.
My only concern is that if i threw one of these in and i had the tranny issue come up,first thing they would point out is shifter and deny warranty.Sure could put the old one back in but there is no way they wouldn't be able to tell something went on down there.

 

I've had my MGW shifter for a couple of days now and It's worth the wait

this is one of the best engineered shifters I have owned and it really improves all areas of shifting and makes the MT-82 feel like a solid transmission.

There is a little more NVH but I only noticed it when I turned off the radio and AC and listened for it.The reverse effort is a little more then stock but I got use to it and It's not a issue.

I can only compare to the stock shifter and this baby is the cream of the crop.I have a Steeda bracket new in box never installed if anyone want's to try a bracket first,just pm me.

install went smooth and I have the white MGW **** and also a black one if I decide to change up the color.

I was also one of the first 50 that called and got on the list a while back.I was not expecting my shifter but it arrived on Friday to my surprise

 

I've been telling everyone on the forums who have been asking about shifters lately.
MGW is the BEST shifter out there HANDS DOWN.

One of those few times a company can say their MOD is the BEST for a FACT in ALL aspects when it
goes up against all the other company's same mod and be telling the absolute truth!

 

I have an '11 GT, white, black leather w/parchment stripe, 3.73's, HID, polished aluminum 18's, Roush axlebacks, strut tower brace, MT-82, MGW!!!!!!!! This shifter is incredible as is all the help at the MGW Company!!! They have been very helpful with any inquiries I've had and have been able to answer any questions I had, with pleasure and I might add, truthfully with no qualms!!! This shifter is everything that they promised and more including the boot being a "little" difficult to install but all went well and the shifter is tight, precise, very predictable (when you want a gear, you don't have to go shopping and feeling around), smooth, and the throw is markedly shorter than stock and I can't wait to get up at 5:00 A.M. to drive to work. And, I hate to leave my wife in the morning, as she is beautiful, but I've got to drive that poor Mustang with the new MGW Short Throw Shifter, 22 miles to work and sometimes in traffic and that makes me have to shift alot. Oh Damn!!!!! Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!! The only drawback to that is I have to wait 8 hours to drive it again. As George C. Scott said in Patton, " Oh, how I do love it, I do"!!!!! This piece is GREAT, SO STOP PROCRASTINATING AND BUY ONE, AND DON'T BE PUT OFF BY THE PRICE, as the other shifters vary in price from $230.00 to $349.00 w/support brackets and extra $'s to get the ball you want. With the Hurst, the nice white ball with the Hurst logo on the top, is like $70.00, give me a break will ya!!!! The rear support bracket comes in the package with the MGW. The only things I bought extra was an extra tub of grease and an extra 12 x 1.75 locknut for $4.00 and a black MGW (white logo) ball with no shift gate pattern on the top, just the white logo, it is as all the rest of the stuff, "BEAUTIFUL" and it only cost an extra $35.00, one piece of artwork (2 1/8" DIA.) S-a-a-a-aweeeeeet!!!!!! This is one of the most quality pieces of aftermarket products I've ever purchased for a car or anything else for that matter, it is worth every dollar!!!!!! I am a senior citizen and with getting all the tools out and jacking up the car and all, it took me 4 hours start to finish, alone. I jacked the car up on the passenger front on one jack stand, in the 3rd or 4th notch and had the stock shifter out in probably less than one hour. I used the rear support bracket to stabilize the shifter box when putting the top part of the shifter in with the 4 allen screws with the nylon insert and used the rear support to take up the down force to push the top part of the shifter onto the reverse spring and into the shifter cup. I watched George's video though, about 10 times (the last 2 segments especially, the new install parts with the MGW shifter and lower box) to make sure I had it and that helped immensely and also the printed directions they sent with the MGW shifter. I am not a car mechanic nor have I ever been one and this was a fun piece to install if you have a few tools, go slow and be patient, don't rush, make sure to do all the steps and it's pretty easy. Take it from a senior!!! There really is nothing special that you need for the install. Well, have fun guys!!!!! mouser!

 

^^^Couldn't have said it any better. I was really impressed with the packaging, customer service and the durability of the shifter. A must have!

 

Got mine installed today by Tillman speed shop. My car was the 1st car they did with this shifter. They told me that an American muscle car that they installed a hurst shifter in about a week ago was coming back in today to have it removed for an MGW shifter. The install time took 3 hours because it was the 1st time, and the installer wanted to get it right. They charged me for 2 hours.

Initial impressions: I didn't use any of the dynomat that came with the shifter but i had the installer put the sound deadening pad that came with it and goes over the factory sound deadening pad. When you start your car the 1st time you will notice a little more noise. We all know a shifter with solid parts will create more noise. I've got a Roush exhaust and the new sounds are lost to my axle-backs. The shifts are solid, and promote added confidence for banging the gears. The throws are noticeably shorter. This is a quality piece that connects you to the car , unlike the stock shifter. Some folks have said this shifter is stiff at 1st , but I've had 2 other MGW's in 2 other cars, a 2010 gt and a 2004 gt and this shifter is the least stiffest of the 3. Most guys are used to the flimsy stock shifter, so when they get their the MGW it feels stiff. To this i say (shift it like a man) that's the beauty of this shifter.
