[QUOTE="Robert M, post: 15762044, member: 9628"] There are plenty of alternatives, the difference is, the MGW2 took the GT500 shifter to a new level in design when they got away from the pendulum mechanism design that is the oem, the MGW1, the Barton, the Steeda and any other non-MGW2 shifter. ^^^This being said, there are plenty of guys who are happy with their MGW1's, Barton's and other aftermarket shifters. <<They still have the oem pendulum design mechanism but beefed up the frame work and mounting that makes the oem and FRPP shifter such a noodle. Noodle being hollow tube frame. There is also the 1-2 grind issue that Ford attempted to address during the 2007-2014 oem GT500 shifter production with multiple ratio changes in an attempt to minimize the grind issue. Tob had a great thread on this forum with a disassembly and study of the 2007-2009, KR, 2010-2012 and 2013/14 and there were a number of changes during these years, not including the down sizing of the shifter ball thread in 2010 (which was a change, but it was not a shifter ratio change). The forum thread by Tob is a very informative read for anyone interested in the oem and KR shifter design. R [/QUOTE]
