I finally pulled the trigger on the F-Body MGW shifter. Everything arrived yesterday, and I hope to have it installed tonight. I also bought their composite race ****, which I have to say, is easily the best looking and feeling shift **** I've ever seen/had my hands on. I talked to the guys at MGW because there is no specific F-Body shift *****, and they told me the 1990-2004 Mustang shift ***** will work on the F-Body 12mm x 1.75 pitch option. Unpackaged everything last night, and the **** fits perfectly. Can't wait to get this thing installed and try it out. May be next week before I get to actually drive the car, as they are calling for snow this weekend. Anyway, I'll update the thread later today with pictures and let everyone know how I like it. I did a lot of research on the various shifter options before purchasing, and everything led me to MGW.

Good to hear. Like I said, never heard anything negative about it. They also have great customer service and they shipped it right away.

I have it also. What a HUGE difference it makes. I've never missed third gear with it.

I can't lie, I've missed third gear a few times with tbe stock Hurst. One thing that's really noticable is the difference in the actual stick. The MGW stick is stout. I assume the tube of gasket sealant goes on the bottom of the shifter base when I mount it to the trans?

Yea the included RTV goes on the base of the shifter.

Also if you haven't changed your transmission fluid in a while now's your chance since have the filer hole right there under the shifter.

Pics will be taken and uploaded once I get back home.

Maybe a really stupid question, but when I had the Monster clutch/Tick hydraulics installed, wouldn't the transmission fluid have been drained when they removed the trans?

You will love that shifter, installed mine over the summer. Totally changes the feel of the car.

X's 100. It's amazing at the track. Takes a little bit to get used to how stiff it is but I think that's a plus.

Had mine now for 5yrs, not a daily driver but it still feels like it did when I installed it back in 09.

i may have to give a mgw shifter a try i have a hurst billet plus now but everyone is always saying about mgw. only down fall with mine is that the slp shift **** does fit because my stick is smaller

Don't have to drain it, but some ppl drain it some don't. Always wanted to feel what the Mgw shifter felt like!!

I've had a MGW in my car since doing the transmission swap, I need to drive a stock one one day to see what I'm taking for granted

I'll let you drive it. You can show me a thing or two about laying down some killer ET's.

Once I got used to the gates being so close over the factory Hurst garbage, I'll never go back.
