MGW arrived!


MGW shifter just arrived. this thing looks and feels extremely beefy, very psyched to slap it in. i didn't read anything that came with it yet but do i have to adjust the throw before i put it in or can it be done after installed?

reathe directions...its very simple and the instructions are easy to follow...you must set your throw before attaching it to the tranny

MGW


Good choice! You can install it first, but you set the travel setting before you connect the tranny shift rod, that's all. I'd set it roughly in the middle to start (maybe 5 turns out) and drive it for a while. You can change it anytime. Enjoy, you bought the best!

MGW. I've only had mine installed for a few weeks. Everyday it gets better and better. At first ti was alittle tough but after the initial few days its like driving a new car.

I'm set to seven turns.

yea i am def psyched to get it in... i'll probably get it installed either sat or sunday. most likely i will set it to 5-6 turns for now. never-the-less i am still impressed with just the look of the shifter lol it looks and feels extremely burly.

Just finished the install myself. It took about 2 hours which included a couple of breaks for a slice of pizza and an ice cold Corona. LOL Pretty straight forward if you follow the directions and use the Dynamat wisely! After all is said and done, I still have 6 good knuckles left. LOL

On a side note, I saw the link that Luis posted (after) I had finished up and my installation went almost as good as the instructions found on the link. I reckon the white gloves might have eased the knuckle beating I gave myself. LOL

I put the stocker back on because I was having some transmission issues.
