Barton bracket install
Just installed the Barton bracket (kept stock shifter). Pre install: I didn't have transmission problems and i didn't have any problems with the feel of the shifter while shifting, I did miss 3rd gear a few times during spirited driving. For the install: i had the tools, time, and followed the Barton directions (also watched the YouTube vid), and went for a test drive. I added pics of stock bracket. Post install: sound and feel is more mechanical, slight increase in push back from shifter, and I didn't miss 3rd gear (keeping mind it's my 1st drive with the bracket). Overall the shifter feels sturdier, mechanical, and more pronounced mech noise...I like it.

2 jack stands and 2 floor jacks. Not much room so everything was done from one side of car.

Update: shifting is defined, sound of transmission working is calming, and for some reason my gt500 exhaust seems to sound through the interior more. Definitely a well worth investment...the sound of the exhaust and trans singing together makes my V8 stang pulse with testosterone :-)
