SVTP Installs and Reviews the MGW Race Spec Shifter for the 2015 Mustang

[Speed Junky]

Who gives a shit if the shifter makes a little more noise over the stock shifter.

Gospel right there. I'm stripping all the sound deadening I can while it's tore apart.

my install took all of an hour and this is the best shifter yet. Makes the car that much more fun to drive!

I don't know why they didn't unbolt the driveshaft in the video?

I honestly haven't noticed added noise. The MGW does move around a lot more, but that is what it's supposed to do. It moves perfectly with the motion of the transmission. Many people may not realize this but the race spec essentially creates the same style shifting mechanism as a Tremec Magnum XL transmission. The only difference is the the XL's shift linkage is captured inside an extended tail housing.

Welp they just got back to me and apparently they are out of stock for two weeks :/ lol but I got mine ordered so now it's time to play the waiting game.

Showed up this morning. Looks good, and each piece has a nice finished look. Putting it together on the bench for practice.

Mine showed up as well, I inventoried it and everything is there and looks good but I can't install it until next week... too many plans and I don't even have a jack until then :/

Everything feels nice and solid and I can't wait to get it in!

So flexible ratcheting box wrenches and a stubby 1/2" wrench should make install easier?

Well I didn't see where to install the dynamat before I attempted the install so it's not on there. I'm not entirely sure of it's purpose but i'm not bothered by anything the shifter is currently doing so I imagine it isn't too important

Just NVH reduction. I'll be putting it on the bottom of the shifter for some protection but that's it.

Ok well I am definitely not worried then. I just used the thick foam pads with none of the dynamat and it feels great.

Made it a lot easier for me. Big hands and forearms limit how high I can get me hands up in the tunnel

It's not really, but if you watch the whole video first, youda seem where to put it.

 

[SID297]

The dynamat helps absorb NVH as it travels through the shifter body. If you forgot to install it and have no issue with NVH then there's nothing to worry about.

I need to call and order the white ball and correct adapters. Thought I'd like the factory knob. But George keeps posting the white!!!

The white is nice. But I just went with the black one because somehow I get the white knob dirty
