    Been thinking about shifters and your vid is a good one to watch. I’ve seen everyone pushing the short throw shifters out there and I appreciate that you address this, personally I don’t mind the standard throw and I def need to do what I can to maintain my trans since it’s got almost 118k…. This will be at the top of my mod list for spring… the factory shifter is just way too vague for me. Thanks for the review…

    I will probably hate it.. Everyone always trys to down play the NVH and I hear its bad.. I can't stand NVH.. I did a Steeda Body Mount and Trans insert, and I pulled that insert back out the very next day.. It felt so Bad.. OMG Bad.. It wasn't even trans mounted and as soon as I hit 3000 RPM the whole inside of the car shook and made crazy noise.. I don't think this is going to be for me at all.. I love the soft/ smooth feel of stock... Stay out of the red and you don't have to worry about lock out as much..

    After having this for a while would you have wanted the X Spec instead ?? I just ordered the MGW Race spec and haven't been charged yet so I know it hasn't been shipped and I wonder if I should have went with the X Spec over the race spec. I'm not sure if my shifter is stock or shortened but it needs to be replaced due to reverse lock out issues.

    6k rpm is not a pretty high shift... and you said no lockout. If it doesn't shift at 7k to 7800 rpm then no big deal. Stock shifts fine at 6k

  • @zachb13
    @zachb13 4 роки тому

    I’ve been experiencing some pretty bad high rpm lockout in my coyote. Anything about 6k in a 1st to 2nd shift is nearly impossible. I know it needs a clutch and probably a shifter. Definitely plan on going with a MGW, but what affordable clutch would you recommend? I know a mantic and high end mcleouds are very common but those are a little out of my price range right now. Thanks!
