Never missed a shift with the stock shifter. Shift fast enough to lose traction anyway, so any faster would be slower for traction reasons.

Meh... Maybe when I get wider tires. I'd rather spend the $300-$400 elsewhere, in my opinion.

Call me crazy but I think this might have something to do with people missing third...I missed it twice when I was test driving a car with this shifter...

I've missed third ONCE with this shifter in 5 months. It comes on the 401a cars. I think it's the boss style knob. Shifter is no different than a regular.

That's one of my theories. The other is people suck at driving.

Write up, install and videos on the MGW piece. Although its more expensive than its competitors out there, MGW really did their homework on making this shifter a work of art. Rumors floated around that Barton copied MGW on their shifter bracket design, not sure how much truth there is to that, but it did release thereafter MGW had their first shipment of shifters hit the public.

I have the MGW in my car and it is probably the best shifter out there. Most of the shifter's wont replace everything that can potentially break and MGW does. They also don't shortcut it and leave the reverse lockout in but it is now steel instead of plastic. Although I am not sure if Barton does as well.

I have miss second a couple of times with this car, but that is because I was used to my short throw and short clutch I had in the Mach so I would release the clutch too soon or not push it in far enough. My fault not the shifter. Once I got used to the longer clutch and throw haven't missed a gear
