Great video had a bad taste in my mouth about the MGW from my last C5Z and was looking for a good video comparing and this is it for sure … will be ordering the tick shifter today !
@@Gaskinsmotorsports I've been looking into the irp shirt shifter for the 86 but a couple have said it's over priced for something that won't help me so idk it's on the list but no rush to buy it
They've pretty much fixed the MGW. At least the flat stick model. It still has a cut out on one corner of the lower box to clear the ledge on the torque tube. It's sealed by foam insulation that goes on the torque tube during install.
I had some issues with my Tick shifter during the installation. #1- Comes with two washers that are meant to go between the shifter body and the 2 bolts going into the torque tube. Nowhere in the directions or in the installation video is this mentioned #2- the boot on the shifter had holes in it. Had to seal it with liquid wire glue. Also, when retorquing the bolts I noticed the boot won't stay on after installation. Had to clean the greatest from it and seal it down with some more liquid wire glue. #3 Instructions do not mention locktite. However locktite is a must to get the rod/rail bolt to stay in place . #4 For the money I will never understand reusing the 1 crappy bolt for the shift rod into the shift rail. Those bolts strip super easy and have a ton of where . #5 Its still notchy to many. Many people have reported that the anti-venom mod still may be needed to relieve some of the notchiness and stiffness. Especially on downshifts.
I just installed mine in my C7, luckily there was a decent video of someone installing one I could sorta follow. But yeah the instructions are trash, took a bit more fitment work than advertised. For a simple shifter they should have much better instructions.
If you buy the tick monthly membership (8 dollars a month) the price drops all the way down to 501, I’d know because I just bought it lol. You also get free shipping and there’s no sales tax, so it’s 501 straight to your door no sales tax or shipping which I was very pleasantly surprised by. I’ll update this comment when my shifter arrives and likely make a dedicated video about it.
