[QUOTE="Cman01, post: 16255445, member: 138028"] No, if you have the V2 BF bracket you need to cut that piece off that I showed in my thread so the MGW rear bracket will fit properly on the BF loop bracket AFTER you add that piece of square alum. stock between the two parts and drop the shifter down about a 1/2" from the shifter ORIGINAL position. My thread shows exactly what needs to be done. I had the Gen 2 bracket on the BF loop bracket without cutting that piece off but what happens is that the shifter is now too low and screws up the built in geometry and you may not be able to shift into your bottom even gears based on where your billet top plate is positioned. I learned the hard way and had to purchase another billet top plate (cause I modded the first plate when the shifter was mounted too low) from George @ MGW and remount the MGW to the car removing the BF bracket I had used with the stock shifter before buying a MGW. I did drive the car just with the MGW (mounted like stock without the BF bracket). I never really tested it but did a couple of dead stop launches WOT to 5500rpm and also got 2nd gear both times. I didn't try it to 6500rpm with just the MGW but my 5 times almost consecutive launches to 6500rpm and also hitting 2nd pretty well proves to me my setup with those 2 parts does the job.
