Yes, thankyou Mrs. Twice Bitten for shipping that out so quick Also, thankyou for the invite! Hopefully next year my wife and I can make it, have a new house to take care of now.

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!

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?

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.

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........ 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!!!

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.

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.


Sorry for getting long winded,,,,,,NOW back on subject, MGW ROCKS.
