MGW Shifter

[Twice Bitten]

I know several people expressed interest in getting one, so lets see who all really wants one. Maybe try to get a group order for George :D :thumbsup:

[Levi]

I would like one. :D

[Admiral]

I'm interested in one too.

[Twice Bitten]

I need 2 :bounce:

I wonder if they make one for a Ford GT, j/k :jk:



Hey Mike (Admiral), I will let you drive the R on the track if you take me for a ride in one of your race cars on the track :D :D :D

[cobrapace94]

I'd be intersted in getting one for a good price. Possible ship in 1 box & save on shipping?

[Codes]

We need one. Count us in.

[sssvtcobra]

Sorry to jump in, I know I'm out of the region but I am also interested in getting one.

Thanx

Add me in.

Tooooo late...

Its never too late to negotiate a large order. He gave us like what - one day's notice that he was running the special. From what I understand the shipping was really killing his profits on the special - so let's see if we can do the following.

First find out how many units are wanted (good time of year with many people getting $$ for Christmas).
Then go to him for a price sans shipping per unit for that quantity.
For the Houston folks - have them all shipped to a single member to save shipping costs and split the shipping up evenly.
For the non-Houston folks (or those who want the unit shipped directly to them) you pay the normal shipping charge.

I see some logistical hurdles:
First - don't post up that you want one if there is a chance you will back out or change your mind. If the count drops after he quotes us a price then the price will likely change.
Second - who will get the shipment. It has to be someone who a) is around and available (counts me out since my work travel gets heavy this time of year) and b) is willing to deal with distributing them (Tuesday meet or Monthly meet would be a good time).
How do we handle payment? My suggestion would be that everyone pays separately - but that means he can't ship the 'Houston' order until everyone in that group pays up.

[Carl G]

Count me in for sure. I cant wait to get rid of the pro 5 shifter. :thumbsup:

[John Chingasos]

I want one for my 93 cobra? Do they make one for the fox body mustangs?

[93KingCobra]

Yes they do John...I have one in mine...

[AustinSVT]

could use one for a Tremec 3650 :thumbsup:

[Cobra G]

I wouldn't mind one to replace the hurst shifter I currently have

[raven69david]

Too late, i already got mine.:D :thumbsup:

[Twice Bitten]

If you are sure you want one, I will call George on Tuesday to see what he will do. Lets make it simple on him, and have them all shipped at one time to Houston. I do not mind ordering and bringing them in, then being reimbursed when you pick them up . I just want to make sure that I am not stuck with one or maore from someone changing their mind after the order has been placed.

So post up what all you want, ex: Shifter + handle, model numbers would be greatly appreciated :thumbsup:

[cobrapace94]

Larry, I WANT a MGW shifter for a T-5, shifter & handle. Is there different handles?
I will NOT back out, put me on the list.
Thanks
Darrell

[Carl G]

Im in forsure. You know what I need :thumbsup:

[Twice Bitten]

Shifter and handle I presume :rolleyes:

[Carl G]

Shifter and handle I presume :rolleyes:
Yes sir please :)

[Twice Bitten]

I need 2 :cool:

[Bartman01]

I need one (2001 Cobra - 3650).

[Cobra G]

I need shifter for T-56 and cobra handle. I can pm you my info since I'm not a member yet if needed. I live in Georgetown and I will not back out. I want to get my shifter changed before I have my subframes installed. Hurst just makes to much damn noise.

[Bartman01]

Shifter and handle I presume :rolleyes:

What exactly to do you mean by shifter AND handle. The only shifter I see available on MGW's website comes with the handle: http://mgwltd.com/mustang_shifter.shtml

They also sell a separate handle for other shifter applications.

Or am I missing something?

[Twice Bitten]

It shows a picture with a handle, but does not say it comes with the handle. I will make sure tomorrow AM and let you know :thumbsup:

[sssvtcobra]

Even though I'm not in your neck of the woods, I definately want a shifter. I believe they come with the orange handle now. Anyways I need a shifter for a T-56, I won't back out on ya. But if it's going to be to much of a hassle with payment and shipping since I live elsewhere that's not a problem, I understand. I can pick one up some other time.

Thanks

[Levi]

One T45,,,,,,,,,,,, 4sure. Thanks. :cool:

[John Chingasos]

I want one for sure. Does anybody know off hand what kind of transmission I have???

[97CasperCobra]

[Twice Bitten]

They close to damn early, will call them in the AM :thumbsup:

[Codes]

I hope it isnt to late but we are in for sure on an 03 shifter and knob.

[Twice Bitten]

I included you in the count. I called today, but George was out sick, so I left a message. I will not order untill I know the price, and I make sure of who all is in. :thumbsup:

[Firme]

Thanks for setting this up Larry :thumbsup: !!! Ya'll will love em, its make it feel like a whole different car. :eek:

[Evilcartman]

I got a buddy that wants one for his '96 Cobra. Have the orders been placed? You guys going to have a shifter install day?

[Twice Bitten]

They have not called me back yet, been to busy this week to call. :(

[Twice Bitten]

Talked with George at MGW, he is willing to give a 10% discount for the group purchase. :thumbsup: He thinks shipping to one location will save money as well, anyone not close to Houston, would need to pay shipping from Houston (zip code 77069)to you as well as splitting the cost from shipping to Houston.

Cost will be $161.99 plus shipping, if you are in let me know so we can get the ball rolling :bounce: :bounce:

Larry

[Bartman01]

In (2001 Cobra/3650)

[sssvtcobra]

I'm in '04 T-56. It's still gotta be cheaper paying shipping twice rather than buying one on my own without the discount.

Thanks for setting this up :thumbsup: How do you want me to send in my payment when all the pricing is set up and finalized? I can do paypal, check, money order, cashiers check. Whatever is the easiest for ya.

Thanks again :thumbsup: :bounce:

[John Chingasos]

I am in for my 93 Cobra

[cobrapace94]

I'm in for a T-5 with handle for a 94 Cobra.
Need to get it going as I have the tranny out now & would be a good time to put it in.. :D
Thanks Larry :thumbsup:

[Levi]

T-45 :thumbsup:

[Cobra G]

I'm still in, need a T-56

[sssvtcobra]

Any word on how this is going? Just curious.

[Twice Bitten]

I have not sat down and figured out who all still wants one. I will do this tonight and order them tomorrow. I have been busy as hell the past 2 mos, so this fell to the back burner. :(

[97CasperCobra]

I have been busy as hell the past 2 mos, so this fell to the back burner. :(

Don't sweat it man...we all know you have to work hard to afford your toys and ordering all these shifters is a huge task to handle. I think it's awesome you're doing this for everyone Larry.... :thumbsup:

..the question is....does George make one for the GT??? ;)

[sssvtcobra]

Alright, no big deal. I was just curious. I know you've probably been busy driving that new toy :D I know I would be to. I just wasn't sure if it got cancelled or something. I didn't mean for it to sound like I was trying to be Mr. rush or unappreciative. Sorry if I did.

Thanks again for setting this up though.

[Twice Bitten]

MGW doen not make one for the GT :( Ford racing does though :D $500.00 though :(

[Twice Bitten]

let's see...i've done 5 shifers on Cobras.... :thumbsup:

[Twice Bitten]

All of the shifters are here and 2 shifter knobs.
Each shifter is $161.10, the shifter knob is $44.00 and the race shifter knob is $60.00. Shipping to my house comes out to $2.75 a person. Those of you who are not in Houston, I need a name and address plus determine how you want me to ship it to you. To help determine cost of shipping to you, my zip code is 77069.

A really big thanks is in order for George :thumbsup: at MGW :thumbsup: for doing this, and for getting everything right :clapping: . First class person to deal with :cheers: . The only problem :doubt: I have with them is that they have not made a shifter for the Ford GT :( :rolleyes: :rotf:

Thanks to Larry again for setting this up, and to George for doing this for all of us. Can't waite to get it installed!

[Cobra G]

Thanks a lot bro, your wife and yourself are upstanding people. Since I'm going to be changing the shifter should I go ahead and change the tranny fluid as well? My car only has 4,000 miles on it. Also if I do change it what do you recommend?

I wouldn't worry about changing it with that low of miles.

Oh yeah incase anyone is interested I will soon have a Hurst short shifter for sale:thumbsup:

[Cobra G]

Thanks man, how many miles till I need to?

really depends on how you drive the car. I'd say a safe number is 30-36,000 miles but I'm sure someone(Jimmysidecarr) will correct me on this and point out why. :thumbsup:

[jimmysidecarr]

I actually changed my fluid first! Put it back together and waited till the shifter came in.... then tore it appart and did the shifter.
On PURPOSE!! I wanted to be able to evaluate the change ...if any.... that the Royal Purple made on it's own.

Factory fill is regular old Mercon(DexronIII)...

I used Royal Purple Syncromax... which is designed for manual transmissions that ONLY run automatic transmission fluids.

The change was quite dramatic!
I had had an issue with the 1-2 shift where second gear would ..... not really grind but kind of go ........... GACK!

That condition was now gone!

Then as you can imagine the difference in the shifter... going from stock to MGW..........was........ :eek: :bounce: :p Nothing short of amazing!!!

A little note... leave the fill plug out with a drain pan under it.... so you can hear when it starts running out.
Put the car on 4 jack stands so the front and rear and side to sides are the same height.

I'm thinking the heat from open tracking makes it worth doing. The shift feel improvements are a benefit that streeters will enjoy also.

The combination of the two is profound!!! :thumbsup:

I will have some time for the next two weeks. If you still need help let me know, before or after the TWS DE weekend.:cool:

Explanation:
I am taking some vacation for the next two weeks. The office has gotten out of hand with the finger pointing that is going on. I asked the boss for three weeks vacation from work starting this Friday and he let me have two weeks starting Monday. This stuff is messing up my health and I just hope my frustration has not affected my relationship with my friends. I LOVE my people her at SCMC and hope I have not gotten out of hand with any one of you and if I have PLEASE FORGIVE ME. The next two weeks I will have my office laptop and will keep in contact with the forum from home.

Special Note:
To Larry, Rachel and David, who have been helping me with my dreams of a better life. I just wanted to say out loud how much they mean to me and how much I appreciate there help, Thank you. My sayings are allways, something, something ROCKS and you PEOPLE ROCK.

The Irony

When I am at the track knowing I am trying to control something that is out of control. Driving down into turn one at 120 mph, hitting the braking zone just in time to cut the apex just right. You would think I would come out of the car shaking like a leaf, but just the opposite happens. I am cool and collected my mind it’s clear and I am focused.

When I am at work knowing I am trying to control something that is out of control.
I give it everything like at the track; I am trying to make things right at work. I am cool and collected my mind it’s clear and I am focused. When people blame there own mistakes and point fingers at others to try and cover up. I come out from this shaking like a leaf.

The irony is, not to become the one thing I hate the most.

Thanks to y'all and your help, I am cool and collected my mind it’s clear and I am focused. :cool:

[Carl G]

Got my car back today :) New hawk pads ..... oil leak fixed :thumbsup: and the new shifter is in and it is so smooth. How did we ever live with out it. By far the best I have ever seen. For anyone who does not have the MG shifter my condolances. Stan we are going to have some fun this weekend. :thumbsup:

[ORANGE CRUSH]

Put the shifter in Sunday.

OOOOHHHHHH My Gawd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is awsome........... Love it.......

I TOLD you it would be better that the Steeda :D . That's exactly how I felt after I kicked the Tri-Ax to the curb.

[Levi]

Carl, me too. Can't wait till this weekend, going to be sweet. With the new shifter and I going to work on the gas pedal alignment, heel tow is going to get even easier to be smooth on those down shifts. I’m going to need it with the new and first time on R compound tires; I may have my hands full getting it right. But I am going to have fun trying. :D

[sssvtcobra]

I didn't want to start a new thread with this post, and I did a search but didn't find what I was looking for, so I asked the qestion here.

The question is this. Am I better off installing my shifter with a gasket, like Cobrabob's shifter gasket over on stvp? Or is it better to use the stuff that comes with the shifter? Or are they equal?

Thanks for any answers, in advance :thumbsup:

Thanks for any answers, in advance :thumbsup:

I've seen many people like the gasket from Cobrabob and they claim it makes it even quieter. To me the MGW isn't that loud so I haven't thought of getting a gasket. I'm sure if you have the extra $$$ it wouldn't hurt.

[sssvtcobra]

Thanks Casper!

I think I'll just use the RTV sealant then. I want to hurry up and get this thing on here :D

[Cobra G]

I ordered a cobrabob gasket just to see, hell it was only $5 what could it hurt?
Thanks Casper!

I think I'll just use the RTV sealant then. I want to hurry up and get this thing on here :D

[sssvtcobra]

I put the MGW shifter on, and what a difference!!! :eek: Shifts are so much shorter, and solid. I can't beleive I didn't order this thing a long time ago. Way to go George!! You have a remarkable shifter!!

[Cobra G]

It finally came in!!!:headbang::banana:

[Cobra G]

I finally got it installed yesterday around 6:00pm. There really isn't anything I can say about this product that someone else hasn't already. However this truly is a remarkable shifter and you really wouldn't expect it to work as well as it does. Thanks again Larry and Rachael for all your help and thank you George for a great product.

[cobltng]

I'd be intersted in getting one for a good price. Possible ship in 1 box & save on shipping?

Ditto cobrapace,I would be interested if the price is right,missed out on the last deal. ;)

Thanks for any answers, in advance :thumbsup:Just wanted to make it clear that although the standard sealer obviously does its job, my gasket set does quiet down the shifter because it provides a better seal between the shifter base and the tranny mounting plate. This superior seal keeps much of the gear noise from being transmitted through the billet shifter into the cabin. It also makes for a cleaner install. I've sold over 3,000 sets and many are for MGW shifters. I've yet to hear that the gasket didn't quiet down a shifter. They really do work. Some do prefer to stick with the sealer at the expense of more noise entering the cabin. So it's an option. IMO a good option. And cheap! :thumbsup:
