Not necessarily opposed to doing it myself but it would be the most involved install I have done on my car thus far so it makes me a little nervous.
It's not bad at all. I did my MGW, headers, exhaust, and will do most other stuff, if it comes to it. Watch the MGW videos on their website and it isn't bad at all.
Can you elaborate?
I'm going to order it soon, really hoping for a memorial day sale.
It's about a 13 hr drive from the DFW area to GA where MGW HQ is located. Not sure if that's much of a savings just to get a free install.
I was quoted $450 and they have never done an MGW before.
That's pretty crazy, I was hoping to pay a shop. Where did you get the quote if you don't mind me asking? I don't have all the goodies (jack, jack stands, ect.) to do an install like this so when I get the funds together to get the MGW I'll just need to hit up a friend and see if we can tackle this at a dealer where he works. How long did it take you guys that did a self install?
I'd be down to help install at my place. I have everything needed. Never installed this shifter but I've done plenty of car builds.
Thanks for the offer man, I may just take you up on that once I decide to get it. :cheers:
That's a good deal for both of you. He's helped out a few others and they've helped him out in return.
Hope you like Jeeps ;)
The quote was from Dallas Mustangs May last year. I decided to do it myself. I don't have a garage so I take my car up to a do it yourself place in Denton and rent a lift. I take my own tools. Install took 5 hours by myself. Someone who wrenches on cars quite a bit could have that down to a couple hours max.
