Thats why a bracket the ties all 3 parts together may be the best solution. Im guessing thats what the Blowfish piece is......just my thoughts. This bushing is what Im trying next.

The Blowfish unit completely fixes the issue IMO however I can't really talk about how it works, however it is supposed to work with the MGW for those who have it and still have issues.

I can not wait till they show what the new MT82 2015 shifter rod is. I am thinking that is the entire issue to the shifting on this transmission. I took mine out yesterday. After about 20 minutes it shifted very smooth for the rest of the drive. So there has to be something other than the shifter to blame. I have a late 2014 and I am thinking they changed something. The shifter is very firm and no play at all.

Any one see the change?
