How about this shifter?

stprorolla49 · May 13, 2009

Hey guys I just sold my car and I'm getting an '01 Bullitt in a few weeks. I am trying to find some parts for it, and I came across this shifter. Any feedback on it? Kinda looks like a B&M. Thanks.

Why not just pony up the money for a good shifter with reps? Grab an MGW and be done.

Yea that's what I plan, i was just seeing if anyone else has had this shifter. I've had both an MGW and and an Tri-Ax and I loved them both. I'll probably get a Tri-Ax because I've had it the longest, and I love the notchy feel, but who knows.

There are several parts you do shouldn't trust off of eBay, with a shifter being one of them.

Go with a reputable one, or look on CR or the forums for a good used shifter.

I bought my Pro 5.0 for my T45 for $50 used, and it looked brand new....I havent had a problem with it other than setting the handle were I want it.

If you like notchy go with Pro 5.0 or the Steeda ones. The MGW gives you the Corvette like smoothness in shifting, but I have heard they aren't as good as the Pro 5.0's or Steeda's when your at the track...

Yea, the Tri-Ax was amazing at the track. I have been looking for one used, and that what I'll probably get.

I will have some pics of the B in a few weeks. I am currently in Savannah, GA at school and I get out on the 30th. I'll be going home the next day and the car will waiting for me at home in NJ when I get there. I am so pumped!

I have been using a UPR shifter. I love it.

BurningRubber · May 14, 2009

I have an MGW and like it. The only thing more I could ask of it is that it was a little more notchy when really banging the gears, just so you KNOW it's in gear. I hate that shadow of a doubt, lol.

I have a Tri Ax but want a MGW

4tun8 · May 14, 2009

I have a pro 5.0 I like it.

I would recommend the ebay shifter for the money. I bought one of those same shifters for my 94 and i can tell you its a very nice product and shifts suprisingly well considering the cost.

The MGW is nice (and i know because my 99 has one), but for 50$ you cant beat the ebay one...

LaserSVT · May 14, 2009

I forgot, I bought a member on here the ebay one for their birthday and they really seem to like it. Positive shifts and very quiet, night and day over the stocker and it was only like $50

Spreadman · May 15, 2009

I had a Pro 5.0 and broke a shift fork with it. Got the MGW and never had another problem.

When I had the TKO 600, it came with a Tri-Ax and it was LOUD and buzzy. Went to the MGW and never looked back. Didn't notice THAT much of a difference when shifting aggressively. But the MGW was more positive and smoother.

SVT32VDOHC · May 15, 2009

MGW for the win. Why buy another shifter?

Silverstang02GT · May 15, 2009

i like the tri-ax shifter

squeak93 · May 15, 2009

Pro 5.0 notchy? In a 3550 or 3650 but in a t-5 or t-45 they are awesome. Positive shifts and very good feel.

I have yet to feel a mgw though. (fear I'll go buy one if I do, lol)

Hmm, really? This is interesting because it looks almost exactly the same as the B&M shifter, which goes for around $180-200. I might just have to give it a whirl. Anything is better than the stocker I suppose.

Cant beat that price, but I just put a MGW in mine on Thursday, and I love it, it feels like I am driving a whole new car. It cost me $197 though. I plan on keeping the car forever though, so whats another $200?

How about this shifter?
