MT 82 Shifter Siop

[T-S550-X]

Barton owner here. Excellent shifter. But seriously, if your shifting from 5th to 2nd, your doing something wrong.

I just had a steeda tri-ax race put in. Makes a big difference. That said, even stock I've never managed to go from 5th to 2nd.

I haven't done 5th to 2nd either. I did inadvertently go 5th to 4th just after I got my car, but even that was my own dumbass fault...:(

MGW for the win!

I had a stick in my ol 5.0, compact trucks, cars etc. So to me this is my first short throw... A factory one at that. I honestly am very satisfied with the precision and firm action. Couldnt imagine getting aftermarket replacement.

Worst shifter ever has been the mt82. replace the stock back mount with an energy suppression mount, was using a white line transmission insert just recently switched to the Boomba 70D race spec transmission mount. Also put in some upr Street engine mounts. Replaced stock transmission fluid with royal purple synchromesh. While I do plan on replacing the shifter eventually it is so much better shifting right now that it was stock that seems like an entirely different car.

Steeda tri ax no issues. Still haven't missed a gear since.

MGW here, it's great. I don't think I ever shifted into the wrong gear with the stock shifter, it was pretty light.

My MGW is very tight, it really centres itself - so if you're having trouble now, you're going to be in a world of pain with an aftermarket shifter.

No issues here. I did install energy suspension rear shifter bushing and transmission mount insert bushings. Tightens things up. Going from 5th to 2nd is not an issue with the car though. That definitely sounds like user error. I've never gone 5th to 4th let alone 2nd.

The Steeda Tri-Ax shifter is a great piece - designed, engineered, manufactured, track tested & backed by Steeda ... all at our facility in Valdosta, GA!

Many happy customers on the forum, including RadRubyRed ... he can be a great resource for any information you would like - from a consumer perspective.

I had an MT82 on a 2013 V6 Mustang - It sucked - I got rid of the car, had a 2013 F150, and then the bug bit once more, so I bought a 2014 GT with an Auto due to the bad experience with the V6 car...that sucked...so I went with a 2015 GT with a MT82....shifting was definitely better, but merging into traffic one morning I experienced the 2nd gear lockout...so I ordered an MGW..

VERY VERY happy after one year, yesterday I had Royal Purple Syncromax fluid swapped in, at 31,000 miles...the thing shifts beautifully now...get an MGW and be done with it, no need for aftermarket bushings, mounts, etc. MGW takes care of ALL issues.

With an MGW shifter, the only weak point would be internal to the transmission, but if you're not running SC/Turbo or racing/beating the car on the regular, you should be good with the MT82 if you build it just a little.

Replaced mine with the Tri-Ax a few months ago. Absolute best mod I have done to the car.

Honestly the shifter wasn't all that bad before, but it truly is night and day with the Tri-Ax, and the mod bug was itching lol

Really need to do the tranny fluid as well though with any shifter to bring out the best.

Mgw and you'll be good

 

[whatsup62]

Yeah...I think those that say they have no slop in the stock shifter or stock shifter is great just need to try a car where its been changed. Its eye opening!! Another vote for the MGW.

 

[RubyRedBoost]

MGW will help with the slop as it has almost none. TBH if you're going from 5th into second on a missed shift, you need way more seat time. There's no excuse for that. Learn the car before you beat on it. Ford doesn't warranty operator errors. That's why they issued a TSB for customers who can't shift.

Missing 5/4 and doing 5/2 I guess I could understand, but missing the 6/5 and doing 6/3 is just sad. No shifter will help with that.
