Thank you Rising Sun is not to far for me. Hour - hour and a half.

I know the owner and he is a car guy. If you want to meet them I will introduce you to him and the service Mgr.

Thank you. I certainly may take you up on that.
Am not doing anything at the moment.
Appreciate it

Took mine out of storage this weekend. Warmed it up well and put about 50 miles on it today....not quite 700 miles total. OEM shifter seems fine for me for how I drive it....when it breaks or I get bored then I'll do MGW upgrade myself.....love driving this car!

Being a Ford Senior Master Technician , and do all the work on all the svt that come in , I have done 5 . Not hard to do just doesn't pay well from a technicians stand point . Even though I don't have a 350 , but just a GT . I have driven a lot of 350s , and I have a mgw in my GT , I would highly recommend the upgrade .

Which dealership do you work for? I'm looking for one to make the swap.

2 hrs north of phx . Small dealer . Jones bought it in 2015 but I've been with the dealership since 1991 .

What is it about the Mgw that makes a lot better?
I assume no rattle and general feel ??

Also. I am patiently waiting till I have approximately 1000 miles before I hit 8200 RPM.
Guess everyone does ????

Nope I hit redline after 100. Whatever people may believe these engines don't need to be babied they need to be ran how they were designed to be ran to seat everything in correctly.... if you baby it this will not happen. Plenty of people ran their engines hard after 100 miles me included and have not burned a single drop of oil.

I had my shifter replaced today and while the original one wasn't showing any signs of weakness, I must say the new one feels a lot better. I recommend letting your dealer replace your old shifter now rather than wait until it breaks down eventually.

Good to know... just need to find an experienced tech near me. Valley Forge/King of Prussia area.

I bought my 19 at John Kennedy in Jenkintown, Pa. on the 2/24.
Got the notice on my Ford Pass. I called them and asked them about it.
They had already done the fix the day after they got the notice. Said they weren't allowed to sell the car before it was done. Ford's field service action called for all 350's in stock to be done.
The notice disappeared in my Ford Pass app.
You might want to give them a shot.

Ford sent the notice to dealers around the 13 of Feb this year. So any cars sold after that should have the replacement shifter.

Thank you.
On another note Is there a group of local Shelby owners that meet occasionally ?

I have my appointment in the morning for the shifter replacement and 1st oil change. Curious if you have any feedback on the experience. Did you wait on the car and do you know how much time was spent? I believe the tech guidance calls for 2.5 hours. I work remote, so I am taking my laptop and working at the dealer.
