...about shift *****. I put a Barton white ball and polished adaptor on my car at the dealership the day I picked my car up. I love the way it looks and feels, but I am not crazy about the weight. The Barton ball is just way too light for me. I'm looking for a heavy white cue ball **** with just a plain shift pattern on it. I'm not looking for anything with a metal finish. Anyone know of such a product?


This is what I have now, I'm looking for something similar with more heft. Something weighted similarly to the stock ****. The Barton ball is lighter.

My MGW has a little weight to it. A little smaller than a pool ball but still has some size to it.

Speed Dawg makes some good one's. https://www.speeddawg.com/shift-****...ern-shift-****

Here's mine:

How's the weight on the Speed Dawg ones? The Barton is lighter than it's appearance would suggest.

You're worried about the weight of the shift ****???

you might want to consider switching to a billet **** (and please no whining about 'they get hot in the summer and cold in the winter...waaaaaahhhh'), it's only that way for less than a minute when you first start up. UPR makes some nice billet ***** that are reasonably priced.

Yes to this comment. My MGW **** is perfect.

^ FYI I have both black and white. Right now I'm sporting the white one.

Mine matches my interior nicely too.

Learn how to read. I want a HEAVIER shift **** for more positive engagement feel. The Barton **** is lighter than the stocker.

I DO know how to read and my comment remains the SAME.

A heavier shift **** is going to add ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to the feel of the shifter.

I assume you mean you actually want the shifter throw or shifter action to feel heavier, not the actual ****?

Unless we're talking bowling *****, I can't see the weight of the actual **** to have much of an impact. The positive engagement feel will be as a result of the shifter linkage underneath, not the ball on top.

For what it's worth, I have a Hurst in my '05 and it's a nice positive action. Firmer, more precise than stock.

AlsCobra

He wants a heavier ****. No big deal. Nothing more than a personal preference. Just help him find a heavier ****. Geez.

Ltngdrvr

Sure.

Get a big ball bearing and get a machine shop to drill and tap it for the shift handle thread size. Solid steel, that's the way to go.

I swapped the stock **** back in for a drive home last week, which weighs almost double the Barton ****. It felt much more solid, but I hated the shape and height. Thanks for playing though.

Your inability to be helpful is remarkable.

https://themustangsource.com/f803/mg...talled-515885/ Yup, weighted ***** do nothing to change the feel of a shifter. I have no idea what I'm talking about and it's all in my head.

Physics. Heavier weight at the end of a fulcrum will land more solidly at the end of a throw. I've done this on other cars and I know that I can feel a difference.

Mr. V

I've never used it but read some reviews that seemed good when I was in the market for a shift ****. The price seems excessive to me but I'm a poor teacher. It might be what you're looking for.

I've been directed to their Spooky ****. It seems to be exactly what I'm after, once I figure out if it'll fit with the Barton polished adaptor that I have. And also, save the pennies.

I can understand the feel of the heavier ****. Sometimes if something feels too light, it doesn't feel right or it can feel cheap. It needs to feel like it has some substance to it. I'm like that with cell phones. People want lightweight ones, but I like a heavier one that feels solid and not plasticy.

I still have the **** I got back in 2008 from grabber pony. It seems they no longer exist but from what I see the speeddawg site mentioned abouve bought them out. The **** I got there feels pretty solid. Putting it on my postal scale, it weight 4.3 ounces. If they are the same, then speeddawg should be the way to go!
