Went out and got the Blowfish Shifter Support Bracket and it shifts better than it has ever shifted. No more hard to get into second under power and the 3rd gear lock out is no more coming out of a corner.
Now to get rid of the Dual Mass Flywheel and I think most of the Quirks that actually bothered me will be gone
Some crappy pics of the Bracket
wow, that sucker is a lot beefier than I had guessed!
It is a NHRA Legal driveshaft loop also, but just guessing how far back it needs to be to hold the shifter up it is better to have it over built than replace the ones that get used for any type of racing. On the V6 it needs that rear piece with the bolt in the bottom but it goes in super easy.
Interesting, I replaced the stock shifter with an MGW (gen 2 I think, not the newer race spec), installed a stainless clutch line and changed to Redline MTL fluid. It solved enough of my shifting problems that I stopped before the Blow Fish bracket. It was next if I still wan't happy but I never thought I needed it. Maybe I should have just done the Blow Fish and save some money on the MGW.

Well I am going to test it out tomorrow, I am going to the Skyway and Dragon.
MGW did not make a shifter for the V6 until 2016 and I was not so much worried about the throw just the lock out.
The MGW made a huge difference in my car. Just it and a fluid change and it shifted like butter and no more missed gears. It was like a totally different transmission. Have fun on the Dragon tomorrow. Hopefully it won't be overrun with bikes.
My buddy in Kentucky has the Older MGW in his 2012 and loves it and now his 2014 V6 has my old Barton Bracket on it, I have not gotten the review on it yet but his wife drives it.
I guess I had better get the Redline for mine, it is time to change the trans fluid again and the MotorCraft with the Additive did not help. I should have changed to the MTL then.
Well it is definitely an improvement, no more 3rd or 5th gear lock out under power. Shifts like a different car.
Breaking the 1.0 mark on the Accelerometer both left and right without even trying was nice also, the 295's in the rear didn't even talk to me yet.
So what I'm hearing is get the MGW shifter and the Blowfish bracket and finally, FINALLY enjoy the TR3650 without worryin' so much about gnashing of second or third?

That would be wonderful... so is that right?
Blowfish does make a Shift Bracket for the TR3650, it helps with the MT-82 so I would think you should get close to the same results.
