[QUOTE="Cman01, post: 16255465, member: 138028"] Yes, I got the BF bracket first as I had done the modded stock shifter stuff (solid bushings in the arms and rear KR mount) and drove my car that way for a fw It worked fine for me, but I never really did the launches that I did after I added the MGW and BF bracket properly. So whether using a BF bracket with a stock shifter (either modded or factory stock) will help you get 2nd gear when you do your 1-2 high rpm shift...…………..who knows??? I'm happy with the MGW now (I kinda wasn't when I first installed it, but probably because of the improper location when using the BF bracket with it the first time). The only thing I can say is if you already have the BF bracket it won't hurt to do the mod that I did and get the items you need to mount it to the MGW. The part you cut off if you do it right can be welded back on, cleaned up, repainted and it would be good to go for it on a stock shifter application. If you do it, try what I did or hit the track and post up the results, I really do feel that this could be the fix everybody has been waiting for to cure this BS lockout/grind crap (ala your trans is in good condition, if your synchros are bad from all the hard shifting before and grinding and stuff then you may need a synchro refresh first).
