Short shifter advice

[Justgonna send it]

So my wife just decided out of the blue she wants a short shifter for her eco. Before i get in touch with Barton. I would like to know what everyone is running. And can it be trans mounted like GT can.

I'm happy with the Steeda race shifter. https://www.steeda.com/steeda-s550-...rt-throw-shifter-15-16-ecoboost-555-7318.html

MGW. Barton seems good too though. I've heard a fair bit of noise complaints about the Steeda unit. I got the x-spec which is the even shorter shift throw, but with the flat stick which ends up feeling about OEM height but the shifts are quite a bit shorter.

It 95% eliminated a very annoying high pitched whine in certain gears (could hear it every time i hit 4th, and sometimes winding out 2nd). Wifey is making a good decision, it totally changes the feel and nature of the car, though be warned the shift effort will be higher, and getting it into reverse is a bit harder as well. Not sure how the reverse is on the Barton.

I will say, Steeda was the best option for me at the time. I'm not sure Barton offers anything for the Ecoboost. At least it's not obvious on their website.

Reverse is like stock. She drove my GT with a Barton trans mount and loved it. But i wasn’t sure if the eco could be trans mounted also. I don’t see why not but I’m new to the ecoboost so figured I’d ask around.

Yeah interesting, i dont see an option for the "hybrid" model that lets you direct mount to the tranny.

I'm happy with the Ford Performance unit on my 2017.

The MGW shifter is the same whether V6, Eco, or GT and they all mount to the transmission.
