Another MGW Shifter Review
First off I want to say that anyone looking for a shifter that gives you the feel of and old school trans mounted setup, this is the one for you.
I've had my Mustang about a year now and the biggest downfalls to me were the exhaust note and the POS shifter. GT500's rectified the first one and MGW the second.
After watching the preview and install vids for the MGW I knew it was the one for me. It seemed to be the only unit that addressed all the shortcomings of the original Ford parts.
Install was straight forward and took me about 2.5 hours by myself. The videos and supplied written instructions were very thorough and really made the job a breeze.
Pro's
Top notch construction
Positive feel
Reduced throw
Perfect throttle on up shifts
Con's
More NVH (noise vibration harshness) *
The pros definetely outweigh the cons on this setup.
Coming from and F-body with a T56 and Poly motor and trans mounts this is really not that bad. In fact I would guess the NVH may reduce itself over time as parts start to wear in.
*I did not use the supplies optional rear bracket damper that bolts between the bracket and the body but may decide to throw it on in the future.
Overall this is an exceptional product that is a must for the true gearhead that wants the most from his/her Performance Car.
