Barton Shifter

I just wanted to brag on his shifter..........
I was so dissapointed with the way my car shifted from the factory! To the point I almost put it for sale with 600 miles on it.
If any of you read my post about my "Clutch on the floor" then you know I had to have my transmission replaced with only 600 miles. While having the trans replaced I had the Ford Tech install the Barton Shifter (this was my tech's idea).
I swear this is a different car! I have not missed one gear nor have I even had any trouble getting into 2nd or 5th. It also help me beat a 2011 Grand Sport

Props to Barton Industies for a fine job on a American made shifter

I'm using the MGW unit. This looks like a nice unit, but the MGW also addresses issues in the lower shifter body.

I'm glad you are happier with the car.

Good to hear the Barton shifter works so well. The Barton shifter appears to me to be the best shifter out there. I would like to see a comparison between it and the MGW shifter.

Thinking about scraping some dough together (donations accepted) for a new shifter. Which one? Seen lots of MGW love on here, but not a lot of explanation on what makes them better than Barton or Steeda? Does it replace more components?

When Barton initially released their shifter design they used the one piece design they still had some deflection issues with it and people still had some issues getting in gear so they redesigned the bracket to use the 2 piece design which eliminated the deflection in shifting.

I am using the two piece rear bracket with the stock shifter. Works great!! Easy upgrade installs in 15 minutes.
