So I know this is a pretty old subject with these cars. I just want to hear from some people that actually found a way to remedy it.
My 2010 GT, has the stock shifter with the Saleen shifter block added. The Saleen block did shorten the shift throw, but also made it notchier-which I know is a trade off sometimes. But it also enhanced the high rpm lockout in 1-2, and 2-3. At lower speeds/rpm it’s fine. No grinding or crunching, just an unwillingness to go in unless I go real easy…no hurried shifts. I changed my trans fluid, but no change.
What is a sure fire way to get rid of this? I know that blowfish bracket is no longer available. My plan is to trash the shifter I have and get an MGW. Also maybe a new trans mount? Does anyone make a poly one? I heard motor mounts might help too?
It really takes the fun out of driving the car. Any feedback is appreciated.
