I was just wondering if anyone has aftermarket shifters, and how do they like them? I want to change mine, but i dont know what to get. What are some good brands???
I had the Roush shifter installed after a few months and a few missed shifts with the stock unit. Haven't missed 3rd since. 55% throw reduction, very 'positive' feel with every shift. Happy customer...
The majority of people either have the Hurst Comp+ or MGW. I have the Hurst in both cars. It works well for what we need. Hurst has a new billet shifter, but it's not much less than the MGW. So it basically comes down to 2 things. Price and shifter feel. If you want a positive feedback (kind of notchy) feel and save a few bucks, go with the Hurst Comp Plus. If you want adjustability and a smoother shift, go with the MGW.
I love my MGW, my friend has the Hurst and that also feels great!! Whatever shifter you get make sure you pad the trans tunnel and all shifter frame contact points they can rattle heard this from various brands
This is the shifter you want, believe me. > http://mgwltd.com/mustang2005_shifter.shtml I've installed all kinds of shifters on these cars and it's by far the best designed shifter available.
MGW is the general consensus if money is no option...I have the Hurst Comp Shifter and I love it...I personally think it looks the best and also saved me $100
I just have the shifter bushings from steeda, and it's a LOT better than stock. Haven't had an opportunity to compare it to other shifters though. The downsides are no throw reduction, and I can't move the knob around; I'd like to move the knob back a bit so I don't hit the radio buttons with my fingers.
I have the Pro 5.0 shifter and like it alot. I never used any other so I cant say anything about them. I am not to sure what MGW offers over the Pro 5.0 since I dont see any need for improvement.
I have the PRO-5.0 shifter and I really like it. Notchy feel but strong springs get you into gear every time, plus postive stops for worry-free gear banging. I coupled mine with the Hurst, Chrome Handle and White Ball Shifter Knob.
I had a Steeda Triax which is identical to the Pro50. No comparison to the MGW at almost 500 rwhp. I got tired of missing third and the notchy noisy Triax. I will admit that the Triax felt great before the supercharger, it was just noisy.
Yikes. So with the MGW you don't miss third anymore? Do you have a K-Member Brace with Torque Limiters? The reason I'm asking is because I got a MGW and I started missing third gear after it so I installed a CHE K-Member Brace with TLs and it fixed it.
