Anyone went from the stock shifter with a Barton 2-post bracket to the MGW shifter? The Barton helped clean up the shifts, but there is still room for improvement. I don't care about making throws shorter. Trying to weigh at this point whether going to MGW is worth it, or should I jump straight to the Blowfish bracket.

 

I think you should try and go for the Blowfish racing bracket. It's cheaper than the MGW, even though the MGW is awesome. Test it and see how it fares by itself and if you need more improvement go on to the MGW.

 

Gotta tell you. Bought the MGW. Have not installed it yet but it is a work of precision manufacturing. I will follow up with a review when I install.

 

I started with Barton 2 Post. Possibly helped lockout, but felt very notchy and transmitted a lot of noise. Switched to MGW about a year ago. Absolutely no more lockout, but still notchy/crunchy shifts, especially around corners. Added Whiteline mount and braided stainless clutch line about six months later. Noticed a bit more improvement.

Finally installed Blowfish bracket a few days ago. It changed the shifter feeling dramatically. Before I even started the car, I rowed through the gears and I was honestly a little concerned. It felt SO different. My thoughts were that this was either going to be awesome or terrible. It's awesome.

So right now I'm running MGW, Whiteline mount, braided stainless clutch line, and Blowfish bracket. Just ordered some Amsoil MTF. Once that's in, I'm out of MT82 band-aids. I can finally say that I like the way it feels, fingers crossed for longevity.

 

That's almost the exact same set up I have. Except I'm using Redline, but I might switch to Amsoil. Plus I changed out my clutch and flywheel. That Blowfish racing definitely changed the way my stangs shifts and I like it.
