Short Shifter positioning

[D.Brown]

They're all very good shifters. You can't go wrong with any of the choices. I chose Steeda because it retains the OEM thread pitch and was the cheapest of the three.

all of them use OEM thread pitch

sorry the sun is coming through the windshield

thank you for this pic because i think these people are getting the idea that the MGW is like 2 inches off center lol...

look you guys do realize that the MGW Race Spec is the ONLY shifter that actually maintains the EXACT location of the trans output shaft.

It eliminates the factory triple jointed linkage which is why the oem , steeda, barton etc can be perfectly on center because they are in reality NOT centered with the trans.

the race spec goes so far beyond the other shifter designs that it feels just like a top loader.

I will be moving the top handle over a little in the next batch to appease the masses but as this pic clearly shows we are talking like a 1/4 to 3/8 inch here. lol

PLUS...the true center of the gear pattern is NOT the 3-4 gate in any event since the pattern goes twice as far to the left as it does the right.


So.... with the RACE SPEC you get..

EVERYTHING replaced, linkage, pivot cup , pivot mechanism, internal springs, fully trans mounted with ZERO lockout issues. perfect alignment ...

and the small offset issue is soon to be gone so there will be nothing left to make a desperate critique of.

I was concerned with the MGW not sitting center too. I'm very OCD. But after installing it, it's pretty darn close to center on mine and looks stock.

I had never thought it to be off center untill reading about it but also never looked at it from the back seat lol

also in a youtube comparison the negative about the MGW was its movement under full throttle conditions

I thought you couldn't reuse the stock knob on the MGW?

Personally, I don't think movement is a big deal. Or even a negative really. It feels like a a race spec muscle car shifter. If that isn't what someone thinks is desirable, there options might be better for them. For me, I'd never consider ant other shifter now that I have the MGW installed. :cheers:

we have gone over this also and the video even claiming this to be a disadvantage to the race spec is totally ridiculous because the movement of the shifter is DIRECTLY related to the moment of the trans and motor. This is the absolute most ideal situation you can hope for.

ANYTHING less is called " deflection" !!!!

you certainly can use the OEM knob with the race spec.

exactly
just wanted you to say it lol

 

[TheDivaDanielle]

never noticed my MGW wasn't in the center... hmmm.. this is with it in 4th. looks fine to me.

Some of you are literally looking for a reason to not buy the best shifter on the market to save $40.

 

[Todd15Fastback]

Disagree. MGW is great for sure.

I liked the pull-up reverse and design of Steeda. Went with them for that very reason. Plus I am a huge Steeda supporter. You can't go wrong with either one, honestly. It is like picking blonde, brunette or a redhead...
