[QUOTE="ShelbyGT5HUN, post: 15069367, member: 161356"] I started a thread about this a few months ago. I have the MGW Gen 1. I would get "locked out" of 5th sometimes, over 130mph. I analyzed this problem closer. Turns out I could reproduce the lock out 100% of the time, and reproduce NOT getting locked out 100% of the time. Turns out, if you shift and just push the shifter hard on an up diagonal, you would tag the reverse lock-out, which in turn put the shifter into a no man's zone between R and 5th gear. I concluded this was USER ERROR. You really need to shift with precision, and go up and into 5th versus, just ramming the thing up and to the right. Trust me there is no problem here, other than how you are shifting it! Visualize the gate pattern, just like how older Ferraris had. Be precise! Also, don't no lift shift into 5th. Not good for your clutch or drivetrain. [/QUOTE]
