I stand corrected.
I was pretty surprised when I got under the car to put the new one on and found I already had a K-Member brace.
I guess I am stupid. I listen to the reviews of reputable sources. Did you hear that there were aliens in Roswell NM. Me either, the man must have posted that also.
I hope that whatever you bought makes you happy.
I love seeing all of the facts.
I just got the MGW i has the roush shifter did not like. also the shifter rattled....
The article that I am talking about takes a bunch of different cars that are owned by the writers. Everything from stock to supercharged. I think that between the major publications (5.0, MMFF, and Modified Mustangs) we can rely on their info. The internet is a great source of info, but could be sided. The writers in these major mags are very respected among the mustang crowd. Joe DaSailva (modified mustangs and fast fords), Ken Miele (muscle mustangs and fast fords), and KJ Jones (5.0) are all respectable members of the mustang community. I take their opinions seriously. The publishers of these magazines take some time and consideration when they hire a technical writer.
I have the MGW concept knob like the one in the article and I just went out there and turned it around backwards like the idiot had it in the article. It feels terrible like that. In fact, it felt downright strange. You'd think that some of the so called stang experts from the magazine would have noticed that. The rags are full of BS. My car was featured in MM&FF in a nine page spread and I counted 9 mistakes in the article which was written by the editor. This was after I filled out a tech card for the A-Hole. He tried to make the article sound a certain way for good reading rather than stating facts. It happens all the time.
Isn't the Roush shifter essentially the Hurst relabeled?
I doubt it. I've shifted the Roush shifter in a 427R (while parked) and it felt much better than the Hurst. It has a billet stick that seems a little tall, but it felt GREAT. Notchy, but very direct and short. The shifting linkage is also billet. This shifter is not cheap, as they sell it in 3 parts: shifter, stick and ball. Just over $400 on their website. Any big name Mustang developer (Steeda, Saleen, Roush) will develop their own components to work the way they want on their cars.
Personally, I think I would get this Roush first, the Hurst 2nd, and the MGW third. I've driven Honda's with short throw shifters...and while incredibly smooth, they are somewhat boring. To me, the MGW shifter would be like driving a Honda (shifting-wise).
If Shelby puts Hurst on all his cars, they probably don't suck as bad as people say they do. I'm sure he can put whatever he wants on his cars...and he didn't pick MGW.
Bottom line is, not everybody shifts at WOT. So if you're just driving the car quickly and having fun, ANY shifter will work, and would be better than stock.
