I had a few issues early on... But the car has been great since a I moved my seat closer. I know it sounds silly, but since its been perfect. I mean I even trust it to powershift at 7500.... Have not missed one gear since moving my seat up...
I saw on another forum there was a TSB going on, where they replaced the shifter with one that has more lateral spacing. It was suppose to help early 2013 and older Bosses. I am assuiming if this is true the newer 2013 Bosses are fine. Has any one heard of this? It replaced part number CR3Z-7910-A. Maybe i wont need to get a new MGW shifter.
thanks

You may not need to get an MGW, but after watching the install video and seeing how stout it is compared to the stock shifter and bracket you have to want one anyway, right?
After getting a new set of syncros installed, better tranny oil and a MGW shifter all my crunching problems went away.
300km of hard driving on a track day and every shift went well. Looks like no need for the Tremec so far!!
Cheers
25,000 miles update: Still works great. Changed the oil again at 25k and it was perfect- not a single little flake of anything drained out with the oil. I put MTL in this time and didn't notice anything different. Heading to Las Vegas next week with Team Shelby for the annual Bash with two open track days at Spring Mtn.
So how's it doing after replacing the fluid again? I just bought a LS Boss 302 with 1900 miles on it. So far I have had no issues with grinding at all. I have missed third twice (just driving normal, so not a problem) but when it happened it felt to me like it was lack of experience with the car (aka, my fault lol) or its just the shifter mechanism. I have plans to replace the stock shifter with a MGW, but I'm probably just going to leave it alone for a while.
I had shifting issues with my GT immediately after purchasing it. Ford changed the fluid and I added a Barton shifter. Helped a little but the problem is the cheap material used to make the transmission internals.
