Problems with my Ford Racing Shifter
I have a mustang 2013 gt track with 3.73 gears.
Today I send the car to the ford dealership for install the short shifter.
they give me the car back but i notice weird things with this new set up.

Not sure if you mentioned it before or not but what did you upgrade to? I mean is it called Ford racing shifter?

I think it's essentially just like a Barton shifter and 2 post bracket with a white Ford Racing shift ball. I almost went that route but I just couldn't pass up the MGW for the price.

I got the automatic instead of the manual mainly because I didn't like the clutch. The clutch just didn't feel like any clutch I had ever driven before, which is a shame because I really wanted a manual for the twisty turny roads. I can see where an upgrade in shifters would be well worth the money though.
