Finally got my MGW shifter installed 2 days ago. Good positive shifts, and very easy 2-3 shift at redline, instead of the vagueness of the factory shifter. Can't wait to get to the track and see if missed shifts are a thing of the past. There must be a lot of sound insulation as it's actually quieter in the car now.

Yeah I got in on the order back in October/November. In fact, I ordered the shifter BEFORE I even got my actual car. LOL. That's how confident I was... and it lived up to its expectations, if not surpassed it. I also spoke extensively with the owner/designer (George I think), great guy. I just had to wait about 2 weeks, and it got here.
Btw, guys, don't forget to order the HEAT SHIELD!!! It helps protect the heat from getting up to the shifter.

Ahhhh what is this heat shield you speak of??!? How much? I didn't see it on the site..
Im doing 6 day work weeks so I should be pretty busy. Sucks but it's good at the same time. Wanna play, gotta pay. Figured I'd work while the weather was less favorable anyway.

yeah I think the heatshield was 25 bucks? I don't remember. But yeah, not necessary. It's just additional insulation. I figured, I'm already down there, so might as well do it all in one swoop. But yes, easy to add later if needed.

Hmmmm... Not sure if I ever had the issue to begin with? Do you just mean difficulty getting to 2nd from 1st? If so, then with the maw, it was no problem with the mgw. Maybe someone else with the mgw can chime in?

My car had the dreaded cold clunk on the 1-2 shift with the stock shifter. The TSB (lower viscosity fluid) didn't improve it much, but the MGW shifter has made it much better - dare I say it cured it.

Can't wait!
Wonder if my car came from the factory with the new fluid. Either way I want to change to the amsoil. Is there a way to fill it when I do the shifter change?! Lolol
