    2011-14 MGW Shifter

    When you get it installed you will realize that you have been missing out.

    2011-14 MGW Shifter

    Same & it really wasn’t that bad. With the included dynamat & sound deadening pad mine is no louder that the factory shifter. It makes the car a whole different thing to drive now.

    3650 to 6r80 what if?

    On my old 08 I had a few years ago changing the motor mounts helped with my shifting. Not sure how old yours are but if they are old (or not) the factory mounts let the engine twist under power & can cause tough shifting. I used poly mounts I believe & you get a little more NVH but it was mainly...

    2011-14 MGW Shifter

    I installed a MGW shifter on my newly acquired 2011 GT yesterday & the difference is profound. At this point everyone knows about the mt82 lockout & the factory shifter just plain feeling like crap. The MGW completely changes the feel. Shifter feels so much more solid & precise, it almost mimics...

    2011 Tuning

    I wouldn’t be looking for big power gains. On my old 3v I went from a bama tune to a Lito tune & the overall difference was definitely worth it. Just curious if it would be similar or if canned Steeda tune was already pretty good.

    2011 Tuning

    Recently picked up a new to me 11 GT manual with 90k miles. Previous owner installed a Steeda CAI & their 93 tune. Car seems to run good but I’m curious if another tuner that data logs would be a noticeable improvement. Just curious if anyone has first hand knowledge?

    Hello Everyone

    I’ve put a few miles on it now. If you were on the fence about getting one, do it. Car definitely responds faster & accelerates quicker. Before if I wasn’t perfect starting off I got the clunk & you could feel it. Not anymore, 0 clunk & no slop. Smooth as can be to 100, haven’t pushed it any...

    Hello Everyone

    Got the shaft in today. It was a pain in the ass doing it on jack stands. I was surprised by how heavy the stock one was when I went to pull it out. New one felt about 1/3 as heavy. Driveline clunk is gone starting off & the car feels a little more spunky.

    Bogging/stalling when coming to a stop, irregular power.

    I’d start by giving the throttle body & good cleaning & maf too. Might not do a thing but worth a shot. I’d also hit up Lito & get a tune from him. It made a big difference on my car that has only & intake & axle backs. So it could make a gigantic difference on your car with everything it has done.

    Hello Everyone

    I came across a new in box ford racing drive shaft & a safety loop for $350 so I scooped it up. Waiting for a nice day to install it. Seems that thoughts on them are all over the place but for the price I figured it was worth a shot.

    Cat delete/clean out

    I just got a tune from him. Took 2 days

    Panhard bar questions

    It’s probably a safe bet to assume every rubber bushing is worn out. I’m going through this with my 08 & so far everything I’ve addressed has needed it. Rear control arms, front control arms, sway bar links, motor mounts. All were shot. Took care of some of my noise & rides better but my strut...

    Idle surge, bama tune the issue?

    I believe it’s the same as it has been. Www.tudyno.com

    Resonator placement

    I haven’t added them to my car but I added some to a z71 I had a while back. I just cut & clamped but they worked perfect. The good clamps that circle the whole pipe are rock solid once tightened up. As far as resonators they did help some but if you are trying to quiet down a loud exhaust they...

    Idle surge, bama tune the issue?

    Agreed. I bought tunes from Bama only because I needed a tuner & wanted to be able to at least drive it. My tune idled fine but didn’t seem smooth if that makes sense. Got one from Lito & idle is rock solid & seems to pull way smoother.
