Even with the blowfish bracket, you cannot compare this shift lever to the mgw and barton shifters; they are not equivalent.
An additional $500 (before forum discount) for shipped mgw in your case.
If you're hesitant, wait a while until more people have purchased it. Right now you have one beta tester and Boomba to base reviews off of. No offense, but he's not going to say it sucks because he got a free shifter (or heavily discounted). Wait until some folks who don't have the placebo effect can get some seat time with it.An additional $500 (before forum discount) for shipped mgw in your case.
I hesitate on this because for me the stock shifter is fine 98% of the time. That said, I have no doubt the boomba shifter would make shifting more enjoyable, but, honestly, what concerns me is the 2% of the time when I get a bit of a crunch going into third or it just sticks a bit going into 3rd.
I have every confidence this would be addressed with the mgw. I don't think the boomba alone would address this.
Did you experience any 3rd gear 'issues' before the boomba? If so, after?
Ya, I likely will.
Exactly! Real words there!
I didn't/don't have any issue with gear changes with my trans. I feel it's the ideal type of notchy and stiffness. ***KNOCK ON WOOD***
Yes, if people are hesitant, it's best to hold off until you see some more reviews from other consumers. I can tell you that the kit installed on my GT was a final production version so all of you will be running the exact same design as mine.
Thanks but Never once compared the durability of a whole new linkage and shift setup of mgw and barton to boomba shifter and blowfish. Boomba will reduce the shift distance a good amount which will result in quicker shifts something boomba , mgw and barton has in common at a cheaper amount. Will hold up and shift strong too once the blowfish bracket is in, people dont do their research like they tell me i dont do mine. First telling me it cost way more and then saying im comparing a whole shift setup to a shift handle , its actually the throw distance i was comparing. Still going to be a quality setup no matter how you look at it.
To me it hardly seems worth going the boomba route if you are going to add the bracket as well.
Blowfish bracket makes a good difference , ask anyone who has installed one. Any of the issues with the stock shifter greatly reduce starting with an amsoil fluid change for notchyness reduction and the bracket keeps the linkage and shifter aligned so it feels like your shifting without any linkage at all. Kind of like a tremec but of course we cant compare to a tremec. Shifts feel just overall more accurate and firmer, A friend of mine has the blowfish bracket and it was a lot different in a good way when i drove it. My cousin just installed a MGW in his 2015 and ill be trying it out and i will have him drive my car after the blowfish and the boomba short stick are installed.
Dont matter, not buying a knob already have a custom one that threads right on from the week i bought the car. Any modification to any shifter especially when you shorten distance between throws will help for quicker shifts. To each their own
