mgw gen 2 shifter

Nice update @MGW

If you ever develop a sequential shifter, I'll be your first tester. I've been begging another company for two years without much luck :(

I will say that I had 2 occasions when I failed to engage 5th on a 4-5 upshift. It didn’t grind or pop out. It just didn’t go in. I’m thinking my hand was just a little too light on those shifts.

I had similar issues at the CHIN event at Road Atlanta when we met shifting 4-5 on the back straight. It was shortly after installing the shifter. It will take some practice to be firm enough on those shifts (I'm better but still imperfect). I also find that I need to be sure not to rush that shift. I think some folks have mentioned overly strong centering and a potential modification to address - perhaps on a fast shift to 5 the strong centering action results in not getting the shifter far enough right.

Bingo! That’s exactly what it felt like. Thanks so the remote coaching.

Mine is still sitting in the box - can’t wait to put it on!

Is the install for the gen 2 the same as the gen 1? This video is very helpful, just wondering if it can also be used for the gen 2:

Also, I do not see them on their website. How do I order? Call them?

@V8 Voodoo It is mostly the same. This is their updated video for the Gen 2 shifter install. I emailed them to place an order at [email protected]

I have had MGW on my car for 70,000 miles. Its the best shifter I have experienced and that includes 991.2 GT3 and C7 ZR1.

Yes, calling them is a great option.

Just got mine yesterday! Excited to see how it feels once installed. The construction of this thing is amazing.

Any of you all do it yourselves? If so, how long did it take? Any additional tips/tricks not shown in MGW's installation video?

I installed the Gen 1 myself. The video is quite good, but my experience is here.

Thank you! About how long did it take you?

It took a solid afternoon, 4-5 hours.

I saw that you only lifted the front end - was that adequate orlooking back would it have been easier if you had lifted the entire car?
