I powershift mine 1-2 and 2-3 at the track over 6000 and don't miss the shift and it shifts plenty quick.

With the MGW shifting to third is as simple as pushing forward. It does all the work for you. Compared to stock getting into 5th is a little tougher on mine, but I don't know if anyone else has this minor issue.

Mine isn't the best going into 5th either but I don't power shift 5th so not an issue for me.

nice vid, but isn't power shifting done without a throttle lift ?

I don't power shift into 5th either. Just comparing how my stock shifter was a little better than the MGW going into 5th.

yeah it sounds like you lifted off the throttle there darkfire. right foot should stay planted during a powershift.


and grey diesel, i have the k member brace with torque limiters. but over certain RPMs its still impossible to get into gear. maybe motor mounts and stuff would help but trying to fix a problem and still be unhappy with the shifter it would suck.

Yes, it is. I didn't lift off the throttle. If wouldn't have shifted that quickly if I had.

Sounds like powershifting to me guys. Have you guys ever done it before? Not asking you DarkFire.
