[QUOTE="lilredcoupe, post: 14337213, member: 77919"] George- I am very interested as I think a lot of GT500 owners are to see if this will actually cure the dreaded 1-2 shift. I had my tranny updated by Ford and also had them replace the stock shifter with the MGW unit. They filled the tranny with Amsoil ATF and much to my dismay the 1-2 grind and lockout is still present under hard acceleration and at higher rpms (5500-6200). The shifter made a huge difference in feel and may have helped a little but didn't completely solve the issue. I have no problems under normal driving conditions, only when trying to speed shift. I later installed the CHE brace with torque limiters and it seemed to help also but I still can't completely speed or power shift 2nd. All other gears I can shift as hard and fast as I want with no problems. Will any of the updated parts be retrofittable or will we have to scrap our original unit and buy the new unit if it corrects the problem? Thanks for your diligence with this issue and I hope the new unit will correct the problem and give us all faith that we can drive and shift our cars as intended. [/QUOTE]
