[QUOTE="Cman01, post: 16154353, member: 138028"] I wasn't specifically saying your were ragging on the product it was just a generalization. Yes, I want to be able to shift my car at WOT or damn close to it, every other car I've owned I have been able to do that with no problems so this car having it because of that stupid shifter design from Ford is crap IMO. Now, as for the shifter slop again even when my shifter was totally stock I didn't have the amount of play that MGW showed in their video on the 2012 car. For all we know that shifter could've been reefed on and heavily shifted for years before a MGW went in that car. Now that I've added the metal bushings in the forks and the KR mount it feels more solid. Am I saying it is as solid as the MGW2 design? No. I'm sure the inherent design (good and bad) of the stock shifter is still there. I am simply eliminating the shifter being mounted on the body to the trans to see if it will solve my problem, I guess having a loop there is a bonus. Again please watch my vid and MGW's vid to compare the slop between the stock 2012 shifter and the 2 after George installed it you'll see that my slop is nowhere close to what the slop is on the stock 12 shifter and maybe a little more than the 2 after install. Again, TBH I still don't really want to add this part especially after my weight loss mods last year now I'm adding 8lbs. back on the car to get a proper 1-2 shift (hopefully). From memory I can say that since new and hitting the strip about 4 times and sending it the odd time on the street with this car I've experienced the lockout /grind maybe 5 times (give or take) so maybe the synchro might've taken a beating but I don't think they are damaged. I certainly don't force it if it feels like it's not going there so no worries about that. [/QUOTE]
