MGW Shifter

Delacruz1776 · Nov 1, 2005

Anybody have one? I just installed mine and have been driving for a few days now. I was expecting a smoother shift than I'm getting and I'm not sure if this is normal or not. The short shift is great, but the shift seems harder than I expected. The stock shift was much easier to shift. Any of you out there with this shifter know what I mean, or is this the way it's suppose to feel? I'm shifting good with it, but was wasn't expecting a harder shift.

The MGW shifter is a little hard at first due to the hard springs. This will get better the more you use it. I have had mine for over 6 months and would not trade it for any of the other shifters. You made a good choice for the shifter.

BEAUTIFUL!!! That's what I wanted to hear. I thought it might get a little easier as time went. Just wasn't sure. I have gone through 1 to 5 hard a few times and there was no problem. That's cool, right? I mean there's no breaking in period for this, right? Other than a couple of times really getting on it, I have been going easy.

Glad to hear it will ease up a little. I like the knotching that lets you know you're definitely in gear. It's like click-click and you're there. Othe than it being VERY firm right now, I love it. Thanks man, you made my day.

You'll get use to it after a couple weeks. It's really stiff at first, and it takes getting use to using some effort to make each shift compared to a stock shifter. But it's well worth it. After a couple weeks, you'll think nothing of it and each shift will be like butter.

The stocker has a longer shifter, ie longer lever arm, so when you put a shorter shifter on there, ie shorter lever arm, it will take more effort to move.
I have the tri-ax and it never got easier, I just think I got used to it. Either way, it's better than stock.

You're right... just shifting LAZY! Once I got on it and through a little adrenaline into I was smoke'n! I guess I figured I could just look at it and it would shift for me? Ha Ha!

The MGW is a little stiff at first. After awhile you'll get used to it and it will smooth out. But the best part is... you can bang the crap out of it and it will go into gear. I love mine. Now all you need is a cool knob too...

I removed my Pro50 and replaced it with the MGW. The MGW is tight(positive comment) & crisp, It goes into 3rd like it lives there. Went to track next day after installation and loved it.Give it a couple of days or so...you'll swear by it.

Works like a charm.

I have the same "pony" knob you have. I like the grip on the back side. Looks awesome.

Effort goes down a smidge but you really just get used to it. I've used both of the "old" handles, for everyday driving and croner carving I prefer the red for drag racing and making people go WTF I like the blue.
If the effort seems a little much for you the UPR pistol grip knob adds some length to it and makes it real easy to shift. Only downside for me was if I didn't grip it tight and bang a gear it would leave a mark on my palm.
