MGW Race spec
2 Attachment(s)
just put in my order for MGWs newest shifter for the MT-82 which in theory should completely eliminate any more annoying missed shifts or high rpm lockouts, the new design uses a upper support beam to replace the oem shifter support arm, as well as a redesigned shift linkage arm. MGW claims this shifter will take away the need for any other kind of support brackets/bushings. This shifter is marketed mainly towards those who spend a good amount of time tracking their car, the first batch already sold out and the list for the second batct that ships mid-december is filling up fast. Very interested to see how this will fair as I already have a steeda short throw (previous owners mistake, not mine), whiteline bushing, and barton shifter bracket, even with all that I found myself locked out and just plain missing gears quite often. I have tried different driving styles as well i.e. slower more deliberate shifting.

Can't wait to hear if this improves the shifts more...I find myself being locked out on the 1-2 high RPM shift ALOT and it's so annoying.
If you don't mind me asking...how much was it? |

Still a remote shifter. Yeah its pretty stiff and looks cool. If you already have a short throw, just get a blowfish bracket.

The swivel stays straight with the bracket. Its no longer shifting side to side. That's the reason it was used by Ford. To reduce binding when the linkage would flex BC of the remote design

Yeah Ill stick with my blowfish bracket.

Ok so I've had the shifter for about a week now and the difference is pretty significant coming from a steeda tri-ax and Barton gen 1 shifter bracket, I've put it thru the main test where I had problems and it performed perfectly, shifting at 7800 while going around a banking feels the same as shifting at 3000 going straight
