scored a free MGW shifter

my friend is selling his 98 gt because i found him his dream white LX hatch with a 347 in it, so he was converting some of his aftermarket stuff back to stock, but some of it he didnt have, so i traded with him......he wanted my stock shifter, so hes like how bout since you found be my dream car, you can have the shifter.....i was like sweet man thanks..........so i scored an MGW with the blue handle, a bullitt shift knob, and the silver door lock thingys......it pays to have good friends.......... :nice:

how do you like it?
dude i cant explain it....its like night and day.....with the stock one i couldnt bang 2nd cause it would grind occasionally.....with this one, i banged 2nd and 2rd and they both went in smooth and DIDNT GRIND!!!! i thought it was just a fluke that it didnt grind, so i did it like 4 more times and none of the times it grinded.........im SO happy with it......

Nice score on the shifter. I like my MGW too.

BTW, I try to stay out of that 2rd gear as much as possible. It just confuses me to think about it. :D
 
I like the position of the stock shifter but it just feels too weak... and MGW didnt have that shifter out when I bought my Pro 5.0.. I think I'm going to tweak my handle so it puts it back into the stock position.
