I paid on 2/3 but still dont see any email or charge to my card. There "should" be some kind of notification correct?

Give them a call Mon to find out for sure. You are on the other side of the country though.

Looks like my card was finally charged last night. So hoping for an email or it to show up soon. When I paid she said it was going out tomorrow which would have been Wednesday.

I just installed my shifter last night and omg. This thing is an absolute pleasure to shift, it is truly confidence inspiring. All the notchyness from the stock shift is gone it's just clean precise shifts every time.

The throw distance seems perfect too, I was a little worried that I would notice the difference between my old barton and this but the only thing that's grabbed my attention is how much better this feels compared to stock on my '12, '15, and the barton on the '12.

Thank you Travis for convincing me to pick up the MGW!

Where's the install video at?

 

[SID297]

Still working on the install vid. It's nearly an hour long and very detailed.

Sorry I haven't added the last few of you guys to the list. I'm on the west coast picking up another project car and have been super busy. Ill make sure you guys get in on the deal though.

 

[blkmagic]

Nvm, I'm a noob so probably not active enough according to post a few up from mine. Ill just order retail.

 

[beef97]

Ok my turn I want in! Mine is for a 2012

 

[5spd07gt]

mine showed up yesterday. this shifter is awesome.

 

[blcoonrod]

Sid. Thanks for setting this deal up. I called them yesterday and got it ordered. Super nice lady taking orders. There was no issues with not having a code yet. She just referenced this thread and I assume noticed where I asked to get on the list before the cut off date.

 

[MGW]

Hey guys...

The install video is now online....


IMPORTANT!!! Please watch the ENTIRE video BEFORE installing...Do not go step by step the first time as there are steps that appear to happen out of order and its best to do them the easiest way for you. ( example is applying the dynamax to the bridge...best to do that BEFORE attaching it to the car)

Also , only one omission i saw is we do not actually show removng the OEM linkage arm bolt after we take the shifter body out but it comes out with the 1./2 socket just like the black MGW arm attaches which we show very clearly on the bench mount.

Awesome!

Wish my kit included the drift, would have saved me from breaking the plastic reverse lockout.

Everyone else can enjoy a complete kit I guess.

Watch the whole video before starting if you want to use any on the mgw tricks.

Apply the dynamat before even getting under the car.

Don't put the crossmember back in until you are completely done.
Jack isn't required on gt, it only hangs about 1", easily pushed back up with your arm to reinstall.

Hanging on the driveshaft/trans to get the bolt out isn't enough. I had a jack handle in the rear of the trans, where the 3 bolts attach the cross member ( remove the whole thing btw ) and it was still not enough to get that bolt out. Ecoboost cars have a Huge Advantage on that bolt.

As soon as you remove the factory shifter. Pull the foam and plastic out of the shift "rod" for lack of a better word. And install it in the mgw. They don't show that step till 1/2 way through the video.


Flex head ratchet wrenches are your friend! Make this job a lot easier.

As will a stubby 1/2" wrench. Shift rod top bolt

1/4" impact driver and 10" extensions make pulling the stock shifter a breeze.

Its a badass piece. Breeze to install. Addresses all the factory problems. Unlike the other shifter on the market. I cannot understand why they resuse all them factory parts.

I also can't understand all the crying about vibration and noise. It's a pony car / modern day muscle car. It's supposed to be a little angry. Want quiet and shifting like a stick in water? Buy a Honda civic or a Kia.

Loud exhaust? Check
Windows down? Check
Radio up? Check
Sideways around the corner? Who gives a shit if the shifter makes a little more noise over the stock shifter. I can't hear it!
