Awsome! Thanks for the vids. So back to finding a lift to use for when I get my shifter and rally knob! :banana:
This is a good write up... Is there anyway to get the video files? I don't have the Internet in my garage yet ;-)
rich is working on final edit and as soon as he is done i will be able to start burning cds :beer::beer:

If you have the space/bandwidth, you could just post the video files on your website for folks to download to their PC's...then no CDs to burn! Or setup an FTP server at your shop and send an e-mail to the folks that have purchased to go grab them... Just some unsolicited suggestions. :thumbsup:
BTW...received my shifter and rally knob today and they look awsome! Now, back to that search for a lift...:burnout:
Wow I just watched all 3 videos and that was awsome, great work and very helpful.
And I don't even own an MGW, but I learned a ton watching it and noticed what he was talking about with the factory rubber grommet vs theirs. The factory one does bind up a bit, noticed this with my steeda.
That is alot more work than what I thought for installing a shifter!
Great videos though and that thing looks sweet!

I installed mine yesterday on my back in the garage. The only part to the whole install that was difficult was those front pins. What a pain in the a$$ those were, thanks Ford engineers. I set mine to 5 and it performs great and feels solid. My car is white w/ blue stripes, but I chose to go with the black ball with dark grey stripes to match the interior and because I wanted the cobras on the side also.

As did I !!! This is the shifter that should be in all the 500s!!
I am currently using one in mach right now. wish i would have installed it a long time ago. It was very easy to install on the mach. This one looks a tad harder to do. Cant wait to use it in my 2010 gt500 though.
Not the best pic, but you can see the shifter!
My factory shifter in my 2011 GT500 is very notchy and requires a lot of effort due the the short throw. It sounds like this shifter has the same length or height handle and an even shorter throw 15%. With the remote mounted nature of this shifter and the now even shorter throw, how have you overcome an even harder shift effort and notchy feel. To me the 2010 -2011 is plenty short enough. I would almost like a reduced effort by a longer shifter or longer throw. I would like to replace my shifter, for a more positive feel between the gears and less effort, reduced notchy feel.
Tremec has a fix for the remote mounted shifter, they are going to offer a S197 TR-6060 with a longer tail section that has a direct mounted shifter. It will also have a splined tail shaft so the two piece drive shaft will be a thing of the past. But If I can get a shifter to help, Im sure that will be way cheaper.
Thanks for any help.
I actually have the 2010 Tremec Product guide and the last page has the information. I Talked to the Tremec Rep in detail today about my car and its shifting problems. Here is a link to the book I have. go to the end its called the T-56 Magnum S197 mustang trans.
