New to the Boss Family

Hey Guys,

I traded my '07 Vette Z06 for a '13 Boss 302. Two different cars, but I love the Boss more already. I'm looking for a trusted, reputable Mustang shop in the Dallas area. I trusted my Z06 to LG Motorsports, but they're a Chevry house primarily. I'm also looking for the best transmission and differential fluid to make the shifter a little slicker. Any advice or tips y'all can offer me on the BOss are appreciated. Thanks in advance guys.

Congrats. I sold my 04 CTS V to get a PW Boss and haven't looked back. First of all, for different mods I've been using 21 Century Muscle Cars. I know they are a Lingerfelter shop, but they have a number of Mustang customers.

They installed my MGW shifter. This is one of the best mods; completely changed the car into a power shifting monster. mgwltd.com

I'm not sure that you'll have to change the fluids. I checked with the Service Director at my servicing dealer (Grapevine Ford) and they checked with Ford for me and the later production units had the right stuff from the factory.

I also added Roush Axle Backs. Loud, real loud; but really added to the car.

Awesome. Thank you. It's been too easy to go into reverse when trying to go to first, but I'm not sure the MGW will cure that.

The Stock shifter is nice, smooth low rpm, drive around town shifter.

Do a search for Boss 302's with MGW. Check out the website and give George a call. He will talk to you and take the time to tell you what to expect.

All I can tell you is, it will be one of the best Mods you can do for your Boss. I never miss power shifts anymore, and the 2-3 is awesome. And no, I'm not going into R when trying to get into 1st.

I live in the Trophy Club/Southlake area. If you want to test mine, just let me know.

Some Boss owners swap out OEM trans fluid to Redline fluid.

+1 On the MGW, you can install yourself.

As far as the trans is concerned just remember that it is a notchy trans and is a little temperamental.

I didn't realise the BOSS & GT500s had different trans. R is all the way up & right. Only hit it if trying to shift into 7th gear.
