I did great actually. It took less time then I thought it would, and the old shifter popped out very easily. It took about 20-25 minutes tops. It is awsome, shifts smooth, looks & feels great. 10/10 imo.

It will get better as it brakes in.

Yeah you've had it n for like a day or two. I shift my car with like two fingers. It becomes very easy to move over time.

How much does it cost to get the shifter installed at a shop? cause i have no idea of how to do all that, i dont have a garage

00vabchgt · September 4th, 2008, 05:23 PM

dude, the install is cake. directions are easy to follow, and all you need is some basic hand tools and a tube of RTV...

GTSilverBullit · September 4th, 2008, 05:24 PM

ya but i saw some install thing on youtube, and they actually had to lift the car and do a whole bunch of stuff

00vabchgt · September 4th, 2008, 05:27 PM

what year Mustang was it on? i believe on the 05 and up, yes, you have to get under the car, but if this is for the 01 you have listed under your SN, you don't have to. the entire install is done from inside the car...

nikbait · September 4th, 2008, 05:31 PM

Well, I actually ended up having the guy who sold me his mach install my MGW for me before I bought the car

I am glad I didn't have to do it. Now I'm a bit concerned because the shifter seems to be loose a bit, and its not the handle.

GTSilverBullit · September 4th, 2008, 05:32 PM

really? i have an '01 gt, ya youre right it was an '07 they were working on. so i could just do it myself?

absolutely. if you can't install the shifter yourself, you might've bought the wrong car lol...

JoshC! · September 4th, 2008, 05:33 PM

yeah its really easy. you would have no problems doing it yourself.

GTSilverBullit · September 4th, 2008, 05:43 PM

hey hey hey just cause i've never done anything with the transmission before doesn't mean i can't mod!

(bassani catted-x, magnaflow catback, jlt cai, the occasional spark plug change, and of course the oil) im no rookie

but ya i guess i can do it myself then!

00vabchgt · September 4th, 2008, 05:44 PM

the JLT install was probably a bigger PITA than the shifter will be...

GTSilverBullit · September 4th, 2008, 05:47 PM

well that fenderwall was a bit trick with the jlt, so the shifter shouldnt be too hard then

Haha yeah seriously. Unless it's hotter than hell out and you're in the car in the heat, sitting there, roasting while installing the shifter.

GTSilverBullit · September 4th, 2008, 11:53 PM

you got an eaton in your mach 1? how is that possible with that intake?
or did you take it out?
