    Looks like I'm in the minority - MGW shifter isn't for me

    Nice work, and thanks for the pics! :nice: Glad to know this is an option too, and I'm thinking of rolling with it.

    I'm trying to visualize what you've done to make this work.. do the Tri-Ax handle bolts slide through the stock handle w/ isolator holes?.. did you buy longer bolts? I could have sworn the Steeda bolts wouldn't fit through there. :scratch: I was close to just going Pro5.0 with the stock...

    The repair cost just took a dramatic drop. :nice:

    A pic would be great. :) After you posted that, I considered that option & went on a hunt for pictures of the red handle. I finally found a few pics, but it looks like the red handle really isn't much taller than the orange. :( I should have done more research before buying the...

    That's a good idea, but it won't work with the MGW shifter. If I get a Tri-Ax or Pro5.0, that would be an option. :nice: Sux something like that isn't made to work on the MGW shifter. :(

    CDC "Shaker" for '99-04 4.6 GT - Owners in here . . .

    Even the v6/99-01 Gt hood has a fake "vent" on it. ;) Not one person ever asked me if my Gt's hoodscoop was fake, but I volunteered it a few times. I picked up my painted scoop for $100, and it was well worth it.

    CDC "Shaker" for '99-04 4.6 GT - Owners in here . . .

    I've always wondered if the average motorist thinks the Gt hoodscoop is functional. My Gt was an 00', so I didn't get the scoop stock; eventually I put one on, and looking out the front window became much more soothing to the eyes. It could have been my misconception, but it seemed like more...

    Looks like I'm in the minority - MGW shifter isn't for me

    I'm thinking about doing that.. it's a debate between going with the Tri-Ax again, using a Pro5.0 (never used that one), or just rolling stock. *When I called Pro5.0, I inquired if removing the shift stops was an option for Tremec 3650 applications - the guy said it's a common...

    i need serious help...

    Happy Monday sir... I'm feeling pretty bad for you! Two things you may wish to try at this point: 1. Saturate the bolt with something better than WD40 and let it sit for awhile. I had a Prolong lube that worked pretty good, but doubt it still sells. Liquid Wrench is a little better than...

    Looks like I'm in the minority - MGW shifter isn't for me

    The Hurst isn't bad, but from what I'm seeing the Tri-Ax on the highest setting is probably the closest thing in the market to factory height. I would consider a Hurst with the chrome stick and retro white shift ball, but the Mach has a silver theme going on in the interior and I don't want to...

    How did you make the stock handle work? I was just online thinking about using a Tri-Ax again, but I don't remember the bolts from the stock handle matching up with the Tri-Ax. :scratch:

    grease in rear wheel

    I'm having a similiar issue on my driver's side rear wheel. I just wiped it clean for the first time, but I may take it in for warranty work if it shows up again.

    Looks like I'm in the minority - MGW shifter isn't for me

    True, but I wish there was a shifter that had the same thread position and threads as the stock piece so fabrication wouldn't be necessary. I do have the Cobra Bob gaskets laying around, so I could match them with the medium Pro5.0 handle and hope for quiet & smooth. I used rubber washers on...

    Looks like I'm in the minority - MGW shifter isn't for me

    Well I found the Pro5.0 on ebay cheaper, but after calling Pro 5.0 I was told I wouldn't be able to use the stock handle AND the rubber piece around it. :damnit:

    Looks like I'm in the minority - MGW shifter isn't for me

    Just looked at it; that "medium" handle looks just like the Tri-Ax handle I used in the Gt. Much better than the Pro5.0 shorty, but I still want to roll with the stock handle. I sit somewhat far back in my seat, and find the stock handle to make shifting fairly effortless. That could be...

    Looks like I'm in the minority - MGW shifter isn't for me

    As previously stated, the orange handle was my only choice, and I didn't like it. :( Agreed, the shifter a real pain to get into gear. I hated it so much I couldn't wait for it to break in any longer. Again though, if the throw wasn't so short, maybe I would have kept it. I used to keep...

    I don't see a link.. maybe your still getting it. :shrug: So the Pro 5.0 has a medium handle, and also allows the use of the stocker? :banana:

    Yeah, they are, but I hate the MGW handle height. I've seen a few decent Hurst shifters (even used to have one :)), but I want to use the stock handle.

    Looks like I'm in the minority - MGW shifter isn't for me

    After rolling around with the MGW shifter for a couple days, I yanked it. Though the shifts are extremely short and precise, I found it took way too much effort to put the lever in gear, and the handle is too short for my taste (orange handle). I've read numerous times that the shifter will...
