you just dont use them, just unscrew them, and take them out.

Very true. Be sure to take them all the way out...

I did the install tonight it was quite easy. I took the stops out. It is a complete night and day between stock and the mgw piece. Now to decide what shift knob to get... :S
Thanks again for the help. I wasn't completely sure because it said you could use them but you ran risk of damaging it if you didn't have them set wrong

yup, glad you like it . now just wait about two weeks that baby will break in then it will be twice as good. its very tight for a while but it will loosen up and shifting will be so great. it improved my daily driving on top of my racing.

2 questions are you saying not to use both stock and aftermarket stops. or just dont use the aftermarket ones? and where is the best place to get the MGW from?

you can only get mgw shifters from mgw ltd. and the shifter comes with stops and if you have the 3650 or t56 you don't use the stops because it has internal stops in the tranny itself.

just unscrew the stops on the mgw shifter, take them out completely. the tranny has internal stops already so the use of both can be damaging to your tranny and pop out of gear while driving .. etc..
