Default F body MGW shifter issues


With my center console installed, the shifter is hitting the console. Won't allow the car to go into 5th, 6th, and reverse. Haven't found any other issues like this on here so I thought I'd post. The car does have Spohn solid motor mounts and poly transmission and torque arm mounts.

This was never an issue with the stock shifter and all else being the same?

It is an issue with the Spohn solid mounts. I had the same issue once mine were installed, never had the problem with stock mounts. I trimmed the console a bit and didn't have any issue afterwards.

That's what I figured. I'm going to take a Dremel to it and see what I can do.

Mine kinda hits too. But it's not enough to stop it from going into gear. I'm running poly motor mounts and stock trans mount.
