[QUOTE="ANGREY, post: 16222429, member: 188865"] The MGW is truly a remarkable piece of equipment. It's expensive and when you receive it, you realize why. It's a testament to modern machining and manufacturing. Having said that, I feel like the shifter swap is one of the later mods in terms of money spent and priorities. The OEM shifter isn't terrible or garbage. The MGW does markedly improve the feel and confidence of shifting, but it's not like the stock unit is unworkable or a complete liability. Between the $550+ in cost (depending on what accompanying components you want for knob and insets) and the 3 hours of installation (it's not the most difficult installation in the world but does involve jack stands, a floor jack and climbing under and into the interior several times, lowering and raising the transmission, etc, etc). I did this mod pretty early and honestly, that nearly $600 could go toward things that make a much more pronounced change in performance. I guess what I'm saying is that it's worth it, but the impact/dollar spent is lower on the value spectrum (simply because of how expensive it is). Compare and contrast that to the old top loader trans where Ford would give us garbage shifters and a rock solid aftermarket was under $200 and took 20 minutes to install, the value was much higher then because it costs much less, took way less time and had a much bigger feel/impact.
