I've got the Steeda right now, just wondering where and how much the MGW is available for. AlsCobra, it's not even on their site with a purchase price yet. They have a product page, but nothing else.

I think $350 was the target price. The previous version was $300.

They post on another site. Don't remember which one. They just finished the design and it's in production. Took them a while for this one though. They will make sure that they produce a superior product though. Patience will pay off I'm sure.

I wonder how many of those forum posts on random sites were warnings of how "bad" the MT82 is...

You have to call MGW and put your name on a waiting list to get the short shifter. Apparently, they produce the parts in batches and don't stock inventory, so if you put your name on the list, they will make just enough at the end of the month for those waiting.

<-- waiting patiently for my MGW shifter...

I have a club member that has a 2012 Mustang GT with 6M and his car was fine until about 3k miles. Then he started having nothing but issues with the tranny. Ford has docked him around replacing a part at a time. he now has 6k miles on the car and he hates driving it. It sounds like junk.

I come on here to get updates on the investigation and what is being reported to fix these but in order to do that you have to wade thru pages of bull**** by both jmatero and you guys to try and find anything useful I might be able to tell him. It's childish and gets old.

My nephew driving s 2011 w/ 6M is also had problems with his. I drove it...junk. Can't explain why mine has no issues but again...I cruise these threads hoping to get some new info to pass along. Again, gotta weed thru the crap to find it

you should know by now this thread is going no where. by getting mad at the people that seen that fact 20 pages ago really doesnt help your cause.


"updates on the investigation"??? really? I mean really?? why would you go to the nhtsa site or make a call? you think anyone here has a clue?? if they did they would start a new thread

I'm still trying to isolate what is causing a clunk in my trans. Right now I can reproduce the issue by getting up to 3000-3500rpm in first gear, then when I engage the clutch, you hear a clunk, followed by a whirring noise that fades. I've had it to the dealer already, but was told they couldn't reproduce it. Now that I've been able to get it dialed in more, I plan on going back and taking the shop foreman for a ride to prove that there is in fact a problem.

I hope all these problems are related to skip shift. that way they will remove it. That would be cool
