Yeah, I've got a Magnum XL in my Roush, and it shifts perfect (after its warmed up a bit). Very precise and smooth. My only problem is, I grew up with Muncie 4-speeds, and speed-shifting (or full-power shifting) the 2-3 shift on a Muncie was simple, just push up and to the right. But on the Magnum XL, if I use that old habitual technique in a speed shift situation, I can sometimes end up going from 2 to 5 in the Magnum, missing 3rd, ugh. The 2-3 shift on the Magnum XL is trickier than on the old Muncies.

Could it be because the shift pattern on your newer stang are shorter than that of the 4 speed?
Just posted about a new/rebuild if you guys could send some input via post or pm would be helpfull.
So much for possibly taking it the 1st week to a show without worring about it breaking down.

The newer shifters/transmissions tend to "center" themselves going into third. When I first started messing with the new transmissions I kept the same habit of going more straight into 3rd as opposed to over and up. Once I got into the habit of just pushing up on the shifter and letting it center itself into 3rd things got a lot easier.
