Raise the motor or transmission? No. Tip the rear of the transmission down via lowering or removing the transmission crossmember? Yes. Allows for more room for your hands.

you remove the transmission support brace allow the transmission to "sag" down a bit and support it with your floor jack. I'd it it lowers it 6 inches or so. four bolts, very straightforward. Follow the video and you're good to go:Do you have to raise the motor or tranny as MGW does at the factory for install? If not, why does MGW lift either the motor or tranny to install the shifter and you didnāt? Looks great.
The GT350 needs it less than say, a regular GT, but it's a fantastic product.All that for a shifter swap!?!? F that. :doh:

You say that because you haven't tried it. Its the shifter that belongs with that Tremec..Do you have to raise the motor or tranny as MGW does at the factory for install? If not, why does MGW lift either the motor or tranny to install the shifter and you didnāt? Looks great.

Exactly.More like "that's all there is to a shifter swap?" Yes!
Nice post and pics [MENTION=35566]madlag[/MENTION]Another thing I saw folks mentioning was a that there wasn't enough loctite. I had more than enough! Enough if not, its just standard BLUE found at any parts store.
did my non GT350 MGW on jackstands in 3 hours taking my time and this is before they came out with the new design that cuts the time in halfAll that for a shifter swap!?!? F that. :doh:
ah yes! I thought about you each time I used the little tube lolol. You're right though, any less (like from the little packet) and I wouldn't have had enough.Nice post and pics [MENTION=35566]madlag[/MENTION]
I was the one who warned you about the loctite. I think if I got the tube you showed a lic of, I would have had enough. I got a smallish āketchupā sized squeeze packet that probably could have been enough if I hadnāt been so paranoid about vibration.
I got my shifter for Xmas so maybe MGW upsized what they send w the shifter.
Let us know how it goes. Can't wait to hear!I've never ever installed a shifter in something where it wasn't a great mod and well worth any expense or effort. As good as the stock shifter is on this car in comparison, I'm still excited. Going in sometime this week/end.
