hey guys i was wondering if anyone has the MGW short throw shifter for the 05-09 GT installed in thier ride, if so can you please post some pics??? especially if you have a white shift ball too, i plan on putting one in my car, just tryin to see it first, thanks in advance

 

Just search the forum for "MGW shifter" , you'll find numerous posts , some with pictures. By the way , I've had mine since they first came out and it's by far the best shifter I've ever had on a car ...

 

Awesome thanks steve! And thanks for the review

 

I've had my MGW on my 06' since about March, and it's the best I've ever used. This is my first car with a manual, but I've driven numerous others, Mustangs, Camaros, even ricers...stock, short throws, etc.

Here are some pictures of mine...the first pictures are shifting, 1-2-3-4-5-R, then a view of the height of the shifter, and one of the shifter boot up.

The only thing that stinks is that if you want to change the shifter throw, you have to jack up the car, get underneath, remove the shift linkage bolt, and turn the shifter block. I have mine set the recommended setting (I think it's six turns, but can't remember exactly).

actually we have discovered a VERY easy and quick trick for changing the throw anywhere there are curbs. you can just back up onto any curb to jack the back of the car up and slide under and change the throw. i demonstrated this on a customers car at mustang week and he timed me at 3 minutes and 23 seconds.

also, give us a call as your pics show the rod under the ball...we have a deluxe machined stainless jam nut that covers the shaft that will clean up that shifter look!!
