[QUOTE="Catmonkey, post: 16154285, member: 124025"] I hardly think I was ragging on the bracket. I simply pointed out that if you want your shifter to feel solid, you need to replace it, and that the bracket wasn't the part to get you there. Sounded to me your priority was to take the slop out of the shifter, but it now seems you want to be able to shift your car at WOT. That's sort of a different concept altogether to me. Mounting the shifter to the trans certainly has some merit, but will do nothing for that lateral movement in the stock shifter in any gear. I had the first version of the MGW and while it was a nice improvement over stock, it's not even in the same league as the second design. While I have poly bushings for engine mounts, I know the rubber transmission mount is still a pretty soft piece. But I'm pretty happy with the way things are at the moment with my car. If I did decide to do that mount, it would probably have more to do with getting a driveshaft loop under the car. My exhaust made other loops options unusable. I just think the shifter makes a bigger impact that the bracket will. I'll be interested to hear your results doing the bracket over the shifter. I just want to say too, that if you've had enough lock outs and grinding shifts, your synchos could already be damaged. [/QUOTE]
