Anybody with an mgw shifter

smokeshow · June 2nd, 2008, 08:27 PM

I've had my mgw shifter for about 8 months, today was the first time I noticed the play in the shifter. Doubt its a big deal but has anyone else experienced some play in the mgw shifter, its more so when its in neutral, and it moves a bit back and forth.

I have one no problems so far its been in almost a year now.

smokeshow · June 2nd, 2008, 08:44 PM

ya, its not really a problem, I'll take the boot off it tomorrow and see if theres something loose, I mean it only back and forth maybe 1/4 inch, maaybe. We'll see tomorrow I guess. I checked to make sure it was clamped tight on the post and it was, I don't know what else could be loose on it.

is it likou can turn it sort of like left and right? Mine does that

smokeshow · June 2nd, 2008, 10:38 PM

no, if its in neutral it can move towards third and back towards fourth about 1/4", but when its engaged into a gear it moves back and forth less.

i have had mine for almost over a year, still as good as new. Let us know what u find so we can be aware.

I'll try and take the boot off tomorrow if I have time, like I said, it still shifts perfect, no problems with it at all it just has a little bit of play in it.

myabe you wore the plastic cup out on the bottom of the shifter shaft? mine feels reall notchy but i think thats just my transmission commiting suicide....

i dont think its a big deal, every manual car i've ever driven has had play like that, if im understanding correctly. i have a pro 5.0 and it does that too

same here. my MGW works great and i just added a Hurst pistol grip to it but the 3650 trans is a piece of crap. i just hit 70k and notchy as hell sometimes. my friend is on his third tranny in his mach 1.

Same experience here with my MGW. A little play in neutral after a year, but I think it's the notchy transmission. The shifter itself still feels bulletproof.

Mines still tight as a virgin butthole...
