Update on that UPR ( JHR) tranny mount: i e-mailed them last night and got this response.
Quote from UPR.
Our poly bushing is black. Other companies offer it in other colors such as yellow. It is definitely urethane. Delrin is as hard as plastic.

Thank you for your business.

I remember it not being hard at all ("that's what she said"). It didn't feel like hard plastic, you could tell it was made of rubber. If you press hard with you fingers the bushing should compress a little.

I find it hard to believe that this is poly too. I heard everything on my commute to work today, even idle at a stoplight I can hear a whooshing sound. I'll be calling them tomorrow too.

i waited a year for them to come out- whats another 3 months 
im just saying its worth the wait guys. less noise than OEM and shifts are incredible. What more can you ask for.

Update from UPR, they will take back the tranny mount and give me a full refund since they cannot get me a urethane bushing. They said to order from either Steeda or Barton. I have a Steeda on the way.....in the meantime, i'll reinstall the crappy OEM piece with Steeda shifter. Oh well....

I guess the free shipping wouldn't apply in my case.

Missing gears is for scrubs, no shifter can fix that. Buy an auto if you cant' shift.
MGW isn't just 3 months late, look at how long Barton and Steeda have had shifters out. They deserve the lost sales for dragging their feet.
I would love an MGW, I have never even felt one and I would say it looks like the best shifter out for a 2011+, I was going to sell my Steeda to get one. But I could drive 35 min to Summit and pick a Steeda up, and now that its on my car working properly I doubt I'll take it off to spend twice as much money and do the work twice for an MGW.
You can nutswing MGW all you want (and mostly for good reason) but don't blame other people for not buying something that isn't for sale.
