Was hoping to get more time with it this weekend but it sounds like I am rolling out of state with my dad to look at a Shelby GT he has his eye on.
Edit: No other transmission changes yet. A new clutch is on the menu eventually.

With the exception of the drive home that night I haven't had much time with it yet because the weather got crappy and work is busy.

I Have No Life
I had the Blowfish racing bracket in my v6 car. Caused such horrible shift **** rattle and rattle in the shifter that I yanked it out. Left the drive shaft loop in for that added benefit but I couldn't take the rattle any longer. I tried adjusting it up and down but nothing helped. Took it out and all was smooth again. I read reviews where people love it. It just didn't work for me I guess.
MGW ftw. One and only.
The new one has rubber NVH isolators instead of the old static mount. I have zero noise from mine, but do have engine vibrations... But a direct-mount shifter SHOULD move with the engine.

I agree that it should move with the engine. I had the v6 version which came with the rubber isolators. The rattle was horrible from the shift **** that it was heard over my exhaust and that is loud (roush axlebacks). I have the Barton short throw shifter now and I am pleased. I haven't had gear lockout which could be attributed to many things. Ford rebuilt transmission, Spec clutch and alum. Flywheel, short shifter. I can't pin point what may have helped. Now if only I can stop spinning these 305 Mickey Thompsons... I feel there is no grip in these compared to the INVO tires. Even with traction control on, the car spins going from first to second. If I had a GT I would be scared haha. The tire guy put 35 PSI in them, I am thinking I should lower them to about 28 to 30. Any suggestions?

I also have 305 MT's on mine with the same problem. They need to be warmed up for grip. I have been running my nitto's for the past while and they are a much better tire for off season/cooler temps. My Mickey's go back on today. I've found them to be fine AFTER they are warmed up. The MT's are a summer only tire. (i believe)
