3rd Gneration MGW shifter pics and details >>>

[skwerl]

I loved my MGW shifter. Getting rid of it was my biggest regret when I upgraded to the T56 transmission. But on a positive note it took about 3 hours to sell it here on the forum.

Also a shout out for George and his crew, with some of the best customer service of any company I've had the pleasure of dealing with. When my transmission guy wrecked the rubber seal on my shifter last year, MGW sent me out a replacement part the same day for no charge. You guys rock and I wish you continued success and good fortune.

I definitely think reverse is harder to find on mine, but I put up with it due to the awesomeness in every other aspect!

^ You can back it off one turn and I believe reverse will be easier to find.

the price of the shifter is 260.00 . it MAY go up sometime to 270 due to the cost of the gold bracket difference but for now same price.

the new gold bracket is really the biggest improvement and it retrofits to your shifter.

i know it sucks to buy something and find it changed but we only made 3 generations in the 8 years we have had these so not too bad.

If you have an axle exchange 4" driveshaft, the mgw cannot be turned more than 1.5 turns out without hitting the driveshaft.

This was confirmed by George.

I love my mgw, but lost the adjustability because of the driveshaft.

Can I use a DSS shaft with my MGW?

Of course. Those were my two favorite mods before I got rid of the TR3650 five speed and installed the T56.

Too bad for the ones of us that already have a 2nd gen cant get the updated parts for a price or maybe a trade in

yes the new gold bracket is 39 with BOTH inserts. if you only want the street ( quieter) insert then its 34.00.

Can you elaborate on this? How is the gold bracket different than the one that came with my gen 1 and what makes it "better"? If it is a significant improvement then I am in!!

we always seem to go more to the PERFORMANCE end of the spectrum when engineering our shifters.

some people do not need the shifter SOOO firm and solid for the sake of NVH. the new gold bracket uses a much larger rubber pillar block for the internals which softens the rear mount making the shifter quieter.

it also has a harder "track" bushing that firms it back up to even a little tighter than the standard bracket on your car.

I will take the street quieter upgrade, how much is shipping to 48207? Any instructions to retrofit this to my current shifter?

give me a call monday 706-793-1770/ the install is basically identical to mounting the original black bracket.

I can't wait to order mine, the stocker is so clunky and it's only getting worse.
