Last I heard George was waiting on the arrival of the new dust boot design.
MGW.....Install.......Tomorrow......
- Thread starter SID297
- Start date
current production of run 100 units is slated for end of the month.
we already have 60 plus preorders so if you are dragging your feet dont complain when this run is sold out also. i am not going to run more than 100 units at a time . i want to make every shifter right and not rush to make a buck!!!

George I recently purchased the pre-run shifters from someone and was wondering if you have sent out the new boots yet.
For you guys that have installed the MGW, and previously had the 1->2 shift "nibble" did this eliminate that? I have the annoying nibble/crunch when shifting 1->2, which I've been working around by double clutching the 1->2 shift. If I don't double clutch and I'm driving from a cold start, it will feel like there's something catching when engaging 2nd gear. I've heard others describe this as clutch engagement/disengagement or synchro issues, but nothing definitive.
From what I've heard, installing the MGW shifter has made things alot more stiff and shifts are alot more firm and chrisp. Having said that, I'd look into purchasing one and also, you might want to change out your transmission fluid.
PHP:
Forgot to mention I already drained the stock fluid and put in Redline MTL, also installed Barton rear bracket. Also disconnected skip shift. Just don't want to install the MGW shifter and have it not do anything and have Ford dick me around at some point.
I'd still look into installing the shifter. Even with the Barton bracket, you still have the stock shifter/shifter housing and it's nowhere near the quality of the MGW shifter assembly. I do like the fact that you put in the MTL fluid already because reading other threads, people who had their tranny fluid replaced were rid of synchro issues and other problems. Personally, I'd give the MGW a chance.
The MGW shifter has eliminated the 1-2 shift issue for me.It never was much of a problem if I allowed the car to warm up for a few minutes and I had actually found a way to avoid it for the most part.
I think having a upgraded clutch (Mcleod RXT) and the MGW shifter combine to make the MT-82 perform like it should.

A clutch and fluid change are both a good idea.
shifting issues
Please help.
I traded a 2011 Mustang V6 for a 2012 Mustang GT and both have the same shifting issues. One shift will be butter smooth and the next notchy. I had a JHR shifter/bracket w/MTL fluid on the 2011 and I have the MGW shifter on the 2012. Do I need to buy a new clutch? I'm also looking at Redline Lightweight Shockproof fluid. Any opinions are appreciated.
Thanks for running such a friendly site.

You can run the Redline MTL on the 2012, as you know, it seems to be getting good reviews on this website with helping with the shifts being notchy. Shouldn't need a different clutch. My car is a bit notchy going into second and third gear sometimes, it honestly doesn't bother me.
Thank you
Installed my mgw shifter today and man is it night and day difference! Shifter feels great and I can now power shift into 4th again. Only issue is the boot. Its pretty bad so I look forward to receiving the new boots.
I would like to preorder, how do I do it?
Replied to your other thread.
Drove the GT a bit yesterday. The more I drive it with this shifter the more I like it.
The more I drive the Boss the more I love this shifter!
Had to to a 1/4 mile dyno pull on a 2011 yesterday with a stock shifter and OMG it sucks.

Just read through this again and noticed you stated only offering them in black. Do yal not offer the white one I've seen pictured with shift pattern?
Just wanted to chime in that I received the updated boot and the heat shield yesterday. Thanks George!
The car's going in the garage for the winter so I'll install it sometime between now and the spring. Just wanted to give credit for outstanding customer service. Wish all companies took care of their customers like this.
