MGW Short Throw Shifter???

02StangGToWNEr · September 19th, 2007, 01:46 PM

Well my MGW shifter arrived around 9:00 this morning, and I plan on installing it today. So I was wondering if there is anything in particular that I need to know before installing it????

HMUSN · September 19th, 2007, 01:48 PM

use a high temp gasket.

umm... remove any shift stops..

have fun.

02StangGToWNEr · September 19th, 2007, 01:55 PM

I believe MGW sent me the gasket sealer.

well then have fun, it can be kind of hard breaking the stock shifter loose.

B0B · September 19th, 2007, 02:02 PM

How hard is the install though??? Fairly easy??? And how long does it usually take most of you guys???

HMUSN · September 19th, 2007, 02:03 PM

20 min's tops.

it's simple man.

02StangGToWNEr · September 19th, 2007, 02:07 PM

Ok thanks guys.

HMUSN · September 19th, 2007, 02:08 PM

if you have any issues with installing it... post up and I will walk you through it.

I've done it 6 times now...

Blk01ponyGT · September 19th, 2007, 02:11 PM

took me about 30 minutes to install my tri ax...probobly around the same installation so id say itll be pretty easy

Why did you have to do it 6 times???

HMUSN · September 19th, 2007, 02:20 PM

no.

I had more than one mustang.

I went from stock to a tri ax.. than to a MGW in the GT
same thing for the sixer..

and I have installed a few of my friends.

Ok phew, I thought you made some mistakes.

Blk01ponyGT · September 19th, 2007, 02:27 PM

how different is the tri ax and the MGW?

HMUSN · September 19th, 2007, 02:30 PM

the MGW is less notchy of a shifter.
it also has a shorter throw and more adjustment.

And a lifetime warranty. They guarentee that you wont break the handle.

the hardest thing is getting the old shifter off. Mine was on there so hard that i actually lifted the car up, put wood blocks under the shifter and then lower the car down and it still took a few seconds for it to break loose. It was rediculous.

nikbait · September 19th, 2007, 03:19 PM

So what exactly is involved in this procedure? What are the steps??

HMUSN · September 19th, 2007, 03:20 PM

click for install

also.. this is for the t-56 but it's the same procedure.

Well you do have a Cobra, so that may have been the bite of the Cobra.
