Crazy install price

[wingnutt]

I’ve tracked and daily’d both the Motul DCTF and the BG Synchro Shift II and can attest that either are great options.

about ready to go Syncro2 myself and will report back

$1700 is insane

For contrast, I was quoted $500 by a mustang performance shop in Socal.

Does the MGW shifter get rid of 3rd gear lockout completely or do you still need a different clutch too?

Too bad you can’t find a Mustang group nearby…we used to have ”mod parties” back in the day. All the guys with no tools and/or experience would roll up to an OGs house and supply the beer/pizza to help get it done

I was thinking the same thing. When I was back in Chicago with my SRT club that’s all we did. We would join up on Saturdays grab some beer and food and go to a members garage who owns some lifts and just have a weekend of it.

No way. Easy install just shop elsewhere.

Go to HPC. "High performance connection". They've done work for me, and it's always been professional, and they've done a great job.

these guys tuned my cobra. absolutely top shelf.

Just talked with Manuel, he told me $400 and they are close to home.
Appreciate the help, you guys are great!

Close to home is almost always better. Personally, I hate leaving my car any longer than I have too, so, the closer it is to home, the better.

1700 is highway robbery for this. Like others have said, find another shop that will do it for a fraction of that price.

I think a better clutch is gonna be the cure for gear lockout.

Yeah, even with all my mods I get lockout once in a blue moon when im pushing closer to 8k rpm shifts.

Mine was 250$ for the MGW install at a performance shop. I provided Motul DCTF and stainless clutch line and was all done at same time. All in, probs 350$. Makes the car so much better, I recommend you do better trans fluid and change the line out to a stainless one while in there.
I have same issue. My back is Fubar and am unable to be under cars anymore. Doing jobs myself now takes 3 times as long D/T pain and mobility issues from it. Then pain for good while after.

Great idea on the clutch line, Steeda?

I get the bad back part but I started the install on a Wednesday, broke my foot that afternoon and still got it done the next day. It's really not bad. Either way, that price for an install is insane. I was quoted <$300

On a serious note aren’t shifter installs a trans out thing on these cars? I’d get your bang for the buck and do a fresh clutch/flywheel if you’re doing all that.

No you don't have to remove the trans.
