MGW is a MUST

[07arcticwhiteGT]

Just wanted to say that these guys are awesome. My friend and I were looking into getting MGW shifters, and found out that they are located 10 minutes away and had no idea. So we went over there to check the place out. My friend got an appointment to get his shifter put in on a Saturday. We showed up on Saturday and the OWNER/FOUNDER/DEVELOPER was the one to meet us there! Not only did he come in on his day off, but he did a free install, and he was a really nice guy. I will definitely be getting my shifter from them real soon.

And after he did the install, he took us for a ride in his brand new porsche GT-3...that was the best part

Thanks MGW

I've seen a few in person and they are pretty sweet! I just hope to see a tr6060 model soon.

They need to do a t56 model that works in a s197 with a t56!

Ive had 2 MGW's and a bunch of other MGW dress ups, any time i had any sort of issue with their products their customer service was incredible. George called and emailed me personally to make sure things worked out ok or sent me replacement parts before i sent back the originals. They go above and beyond with both quality and service.

MGW FTW!

indeed, I didn't even buy the shifter from them, I had a used transmission put into my car that already had the MGW installed. But when I needed a replacement/upgrade part to put a particular style shifter stick in there, I contacted MGW and inquired about the part, and they sent it to me for free even though I wasn't a customer of theirs! Needless to say, if I ever have another car that can take a MGW shifter, that's what will go in there

ETA is one week. They are taking preorders now. Over half of the first batch are already spoken for. One of them is going to me.

Mine is scheduled to be delivered at my house tomorrow! Can't wait!

I just got mine installed. I like it overall. Only thing that worries me is the 1-2 shift. Sometimes it seems like it doesn't want to go into gear when I'm speed shifting. Is there a certain way to set it, or do I just suck at shifting? I have it 5 turns out.

couple things to check / consider

1. make sure the shift handle is not set too LOW as it could hit the top of the shifter and keep it from fully engaging the gears. it would have to be set awfully low to do this but check anyway

2. you need to realize that when you shorten the throw you are asking those synchros to work alot harder. make sure you arent overstressing them trying to force the tranny into gear. use a smooth purposeful shift motion not a force hard ram and you will find the tranny responds much better.

3. make sure you are slightly pulling in toward your body when shifting into second due to the positive return springs in our shifter.

4. try setting the handle for the knob up higher so the bottom of the shift knob handle is flush with the underside of the brcket and maybe set your linkage to 2-3 turns and try this...sometimes the shortest shift isnt always the fastest for some driving styles

Ah. I'll give all of those a try. Thanks, George!
