3rd gear
 

Does anybody else 3rd gesr engagement feel diffrent that the engaugement of the others?

This happens sometimes with this one and even then when I test drove another before it also felt weird

Just 5th with the stock shifter. Have the mgw now and it's awesome

Nahhh 5th n eveeyother one goes in smooth as butter on a warm buttermilk biscuit. Well 3rd by all means isn't hard to put in but just ehh you "feel" it. Btw what's mgw? A short throw?

Not really a short throw just the best shifter for our cars

He's probably lucky he's not having shifting to 4th problems like some other people on this forum.

Sometimes I don't push hard enough to push the shifter into 3rd. Resulting in a grinding noise and me revving the motor. Haha

third has always been a bitch for me. the barton bracket helped a bit, try a barton or mgw shifter with bracket.

mgw has a 30% less throw than stock
barton has a 40% less throw than stock

Re: 3rd gear
 

Under hard accel sometimes my third just wont go in. It hasn't done it in a while. I think most of it is user error (me) still trying to get used to the car. Third is the only gear really that isnt a sure shot on a six or five speed.

You aren't alone. I have very intermittent issues with 3rd when I'm going balls out

Why don't you get that checked out?

I stalled twice today in 1st -_____- idk what the hell was up with the clutch catching. Damn Chinese products lol

How much do those shifters go for?

I was making the statement that I was being lazy and didn't really try to put it in gear.

Don't post this on any "mainstream" mustang forums, you will get bitched out as "l3rn to drve n00b" by the mustang fanboys. Apparently after riding 2 motorcycles, a 6-speed Jeep, 6-speed VW GTI, and several straight trucks while moving with mile long gear throws i don't now how to drive standard.

I picked up a MGW shifter and as soon as i get time to install it i'll post back. I have the same issue as you with 3rd. Everyone that has gotten one says it solves the problem.

500 I think for mgw

id try a new knob too. i have the MGW in my cobra but still had problems. i ended up changing the knob and it makes a diff.

Hey guys, show us pics of your knobs.
