[QUOTE="MGW, post: 14337463, member: 4853"] I designed this shifter mainly because i bought a boss 302s ( which uses the same tr6060 )racecar from Ford and after running it hard on the track just knew it needed to be changed. The 1-2 grind issue is a simple result of Ford trying desperately to lessen the cleft to right play and travel due to the hanging pendulum design of the shifter. The new SVT perf. pack ( prev. known as the KR shifter) shifter reduced the front to back throw so much that it put a major strain on the synchro in 2nd gear. In my opinion it also made the throw feel way too notchy and rough. They did this in my opinion to try and make the left to right shift travel closer to a top loader design. It didnt work. What i have done is actually LENGTHEN the front to back throw to the original stock travel but reduce the side to side play and deflection. The fact is the shift from 1-2 can only happen so fast and its near impossible to "adjust" a fast shift you either shift full speed or you dont. So the trick is to find the right travel that allows you to shift the fastest the trans will allow on a consistent basis. This design captures the center shaft so it only pivots or swivels the rod it does NOT swing the rod left to right like a pendulum. This allows the shifter to travel only the amount in the actual trans no "dead play" facts... it WILL be more expensive than the current design ( and worth every penny imho ) we WILL offer previous MGW GT500 customers a good discount on the new unit AND they can keep the older one and sell it. THe older design is still the BEST shifter out there currently and my vision is that many people will not want to spend the price of the new unit will buy up the older design for a great price and we compensate our loyal customers accordingly so they basically do not lose a penny. I will have details when we get closer to release date. George [/QUOTE]
