Going from Gen 1 MGW to MGW race spec worth it?

[QUOTE="stang99x, post: 14700194, member: 169847"] After installing the MGW, I still have the exact same issue I had with stock. In his video's, the MGW guy (whose name I can't recall off hand) specifically says that you have to "let the shifter do the work" and that high speed hard shifting will result in missed shifts. Unfortunately for me, I didn't watch all that until after I bought it and was installing it. I don't think any of it is so much the shifter itself, so much as it is a remote mount assembly that I am completely unaccustomed to. I think adding the Blowfish bracket would be the best fix in theory, and I'm about to just buy one to find out. If it does, I might just remove and sell the MGW and get one of the other makers lesser expensive models so I can spend the leftover cash on other addons. Oh and by the way, for the sake of my ability to drive a stick being in question (not in a personal way, but in a way that most found this shifter the greatest thing since the wheel and I haven't) I have driven just about every manual trans power vehicle ever made, From a 1961 Corvette (I learned stick shift driving with my dad in his 61 vet) to a 2011 777HP Viper, and I never have any issues with absolutely hammering through the gears. I've even hammered the hell out of a miata without issue. I'm just not impressed with MGW for the price. [/QUOTE]
