I'm aware, I can be what some would refer to as cheap sometimes though. I just don't see the need in changing again when I plan on a different transmission all together down the road

I like the stock Bullitt shifter. Smooth and sure.

The MGW will make you happy. Between the MGW (INSTALLED CORRECTLY!!) and CHE K-Member Brace with Torque Limiters you won't have any problems. If you do than it's probably on the human end! I can powershift my car with no problem with this set-up.

I am pretty set that this is the exact set up I am going to install... You say human error? Where is it likely that I am get it wrong when installing the equipment???

No, I meant if it's installed correctly and you're still having problems than it's the driver. LOL

There are a few tricks to installing everything. Follow the MGW instructions online, there is even a video on their website. Installing the Torque Limiters is a little tricky and it takes some patience and time to get them adjusted how you want them. When you're putting the bolt into the transmission you don't want any binding otherwise the transmission is moving. Once that is tightened up, go back and loosen the rear shifter mounts on the body. This will get the shifter into a neutral position and than you can tighten it back up. Anthony posted about this and I tried it and it did make a difference.

Cool Sounds Great!!! Thank you very much... As for Driver error; that may have been the problem the whole time now!!! hahahaha. So I thought the Torque limiters were not adjustable? Am I wrong?

I have the MGW and love it. But I still suffer from driver error when shifting at high rpm. I think I try forcing it too much.

I would have bought the MGW, but it came out about 2 months after I bought the Steeda. It has issues but I still would not change it out for an MGW. I bent the handle so it fits how my hand and arm naturally sit. This would be impossible with the MGW. So for now I will stick with the Triax.

I already purchased the CHE K member brace / Torque limiters so I am going to do a before and after... So see what it is like w/ the Steeda Tri-ax and then compare it to the MGW...
