NEW PRODUCT Barton Shifter Bracket

Hey Guys, Here is some info on a new product we have.

This is a MUST for anybody who wants the most out of their car. The stock shifter bracket/hanger is prone to deflection and causes missed shifts under spirited driving.
Eliminate the vague mushy feeling from the stock shifter or take your short throw shifter to the next level with our BARTON Shifter Bracket.
-Machined from 6061 T6 Billet Aluminum.
-Anodized for corrosion resistance.
-Durable Polyurethane bushing.
-Easy installation with NO permanent modifications to your car.
-Works with stock shifter, or any aftermarket shifter that re-uses the factory shifter housing.

Dont knock them only on the price. They have high quality stuff. I bought that "overpriced" shifter. And I can tell you it was worth every penny.

If you dont want to spend that much money that is fine. There are other alternatives. That is one of the best things about our cars.

How does the Barton short shifter compare to the Steeda? Any inputs from experience or design?

Why put this in the 5.0 section only?

If it fits the 5.0 shifter it will fit the V6 too, both use the exact same shifter setup.

The Barton shifters are top of the line products. We're thrilled when we sell them, because there's absolutely nothing but satisfied customers. Everything that they make is from the best of materials available. It's all crafted from T6 Billet and 304 Stainless. There's no doubt about it - it's the last shifter you'll ever buy.

Have you felt one of these yet? It's worth EVERY penny and more. It shifts like butter, and has perfect positive response for engagement.

With this new polyurethane shift bushing and billet bracket ($79.00, not bad at all for what you're getting), you'll never miss a shift!

+1000 - this "overpriced" shifter puts all the other ones available to shame!

How hard is the install on this product? That may be the deciding factor here at least for me.

Yes, but they are not the only ones who makes their shifters out of the best materials. Steeda has been doing so for over 10 years now, with a LIFETIME warranty and tens of thousands of happy customers.

Also, this guy doesn't look like he has any problems missing a shift.....

Yeah, I've seen that video. Nothing wrong with the Steeda shifter, we sell them too. We don't need to get into a vendor debate, this is about Barton.

Barton makes a great product. They have thousands of happy customers with their products. Ask any Camaro guy what shifter to get... they'll say Barton before you finish asking the question. They've gone above any beyond entering the Mustang market with their dual pivot trunnion. This new bracket is awesome, and a great option even for someone running a competing shifter.

Ahhh, my bad. I can get some pics/video of the bracket install with our next shipment of them. Barton may interject (if they already have them done).

Looks like a great product, and fixes a known problem, but at $80, is too much IMO.

$40-50, I'd probably have one on order.

LOL I don't think he was being ignorant.

It does fit the 2011 V6 as well as the GT.

Stock rubber mount looks like a total POS.
