I went ahead and ordered myself one for the Cobra. I knew it was worth it when I saw your reaction the first time shifting into second gear, "Oh man..". That instant gratitude of an amazing upgrade that was worth every dollar.
Very nice review Kenny. Looks like it was maybe a 2 hour job at most....great quick mod to get the best feel from your trans. just make sure you have something to cover that billet knob with when you have it parked in the sun for any length of time! lol!!!
Nice short throw shifter. I just got to mention my friend your interior is like brand new. most of the 93 - 02 the dash board cracks. My 94 project trans am is in need of a complete dash replacement. I'm going to be ordering a used complete dash. Mine is cracked all over. Hawks Motorsports has dashboards that are in pretty good shape. So after my car is back from the paint shop I can order my dashboard. I've got the front windshield out so my painter can paint the ttop roof jams . Nice video my friend 👍🤙
@@KennySlides I'm building a project 94 Pontiac Trans am. But it's going to be a few years before she's complete. Keep up the great videos and be safe out there my friend 👍🤙🇺🇲..
I wonder the same thing. It seems like a sponsored review, i dont think you would get an honest answer. I have bought the tick shifter and i like it. My one gripe with it is its really far over to the passenger side which feels a little weird, but im sure i could get used to it. I dont like it going into reverse. It smacks my console over maybe 1/2 an inch to guarantee hitting reverse. Those reasons almost makes me reconsider getting the MGW.
Honestly the shifts are more direct and the centering springs are stiffer which make shifting to third more effortless. With my MGW I would occasionally miss 3rd gear under heavy throttle and with the Tick I haven’t had any issues
Just ordered this..only thing I don’t like about the short throws are the clunky engagements..too lazy to do the detent mod lol. I’ve had the factory hurst and a short stick forever. I like the hurst but my centering spring is gone..would occasionally hit the gate 2-3 and 6-3 shifts would go right into 5th lol. Excited for this, definitely gonna do the detent mod with this one. Glad I can keep my factory hurst handle, I really like how that feels in my hand. Love that 2step main rev limiter by the way, sounds SICKK on the spark cut 👍
@@KennySlides how do you like the ball vs your cylindrical style knob? Is it weighty? I’d like to try something a bit heavier than my stock hurst but unsure what to go with. Anywho, sick TA. Sad to find out you sold it. Subscribed
LsxMatt I would miss 3rd gear occasionally with the MGW. The centering springs in the Tick shifter are noticeably stiffer/stronger, which makes grabbing 3rd effortless and I haven’t missed a gear.
wonder if I could slide a b-body like your trans am lol. I got a t56 and 4.10s in it but it's stock power to which I assume I'd need a lot more to slide easily. And I guess all the suspension dialing in is also there.
It has a slightly shorter throw but what sets this shifter above the rest are the stiffer centering springs, which make the shifts more precise and crisp which help eliminate miss shifts
@@KennySlides whenever it happens will be epic I'm sure.. Keep banging gears ol son and stay safe God blessed you with a gift that should be no problem for you to be pro.. But things take a little time.
Love the machined channel on the lever itself. I had a lous short stick on a pro 5.0 for years and even with the lock washers one of the bolts backed out over time and I almost put my fist through the dash on a 2-3 shift.

The more I watch your video the more I want this car 😍 #dreamcar
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Did you ever get an f body??
Just put one in my 00' z28 and I love it. Never used an MGW but I cant imagine it being better. If you like a stiff shifter this is for you
Agreed brotha! Thing is butter 👌🏼
Great how to vid bro!!!!! U should do more!!!
My 02 camaro ss build needs this!!
Appreciate you watching brotha! Definitely worth picking one up man!
Just put one on my z28 absolutely amazing the way it feels and performs
I just came across this video because I'm gonna change my shifter , I was wondering what is your steering wheel setup.

For anybody getting out of their MGW to get into one of these Tick units - I am ISO a Clean MGW takeout Shifter.
Love the vids. Keep em coming.
Thanks for the support! More content soon 🤘🏼
How is it compared to the mgw? Just put a mgw in my car.

@KennySlides, how do you get the boot to stay up over the shaft and nut?
Hey do you remember the part number? I’m trying to find the shift handle you have and can’t find it
Put a tick shifter in my c5 zo6,, like it for the most part,, reverse is almost impossible to get it in gear..come across this problem?
Why the change from mgw? Does it feel any better?
Yeah honestly the shifts feel more precise and 2nd to 3rd is effortless with the stiffer centering springs.
I have always thought mgw was the stiffest. So the tick is even stiffer?
andrew bengtson It for sure is stiffer. 2nd to 3rd is effortless
Hi Kenny I enjoyed your driving demo do some more driving and shifting videos. You are one sharp man.
Thank you so much for the support! 🙏🏼
Is it worth upgrading over a MGW? I’ve had a good experience with it so far and don’t miss shifts. Dropping a magnum F into my 4th Gen
Same question I have a magnum F with a MGW and would buy the tick if I knew it was better. The MGW feels great to me never miss a shift
I wish there was a 5speed short throw shifter for my v6 fbody
Natures way of saying get a ls1/t56 car
Ordered it cause of this thx man its alot better than stock
Appreciate you watching and oh heck yeah it is!

@@matthewstansbury3047 The weighted knob honestly felt great and thanks man I really appreciate that!
@@KennySlides ive definitely read the extra weight helps beat that t56 notchiness lol. Thanks man. Awesome channel
Just ordered one today, now I just need to order a steering wheel and seats like yours too 😢😅
I bet it feels like its catches the gears better with the short shifter because I have a short shifter in my V1
Yeah man the shifts are smooth and precise!
🙏🏾🤜🏾🤛🏾
dude I bought the shifter itself but cannot find that knob anywhere......
How does it feel over the mgw? I’ve had an mgw for years and was gonna transfer it over to my new trans but I just saw tick has their own shifter.
LsxMatt I would miss 3rd gear occasionally with the MGW. The centering springs in the Tick shifter are noticeably stiffer/stronger, which makes grabbing 3rd effortless and I haven’t missed a gear.
What clutch and slave cylinder are you running?
Tell me what you thank about my trans am thanks
how did you keep dirt from going in the shifter assembly ? did you modify the boot?
Damn the ride looks pretty!
Thanks man!
How many hours does it take to install?.. thank you Kenny again for a great informative video
Appreciate you watching and around probably 1-2 hours
I love their shifter ball but damn it gets burning hot after sitting in a 100° day ... they need to do a low conducting non slip ball
Yeah thing looks sweet and they are working on some other designs 👍🏼
We have a black and white high impact plastic versions now available. www.tickperformance.com/tick-performance-black-6-speed-shifter-ball/
Where did you get your steering wheel
Amazon if I remember correctly
I always run MGW mainly for the minimal vibration. The Tick sounds good for a better "feel", but how is the comfort/vibration over the MGW?
Shifter is very comfortable with little to no vibration 👍🏼
Been thinking about getting for my gto
You won’t regret it my man. Tell them I sent you and they might hook ya up.
@@KennySlides will do preciate that brother man
I've always issues with 3rd with my b@m even after my rebuild, new clutch, new master ,new slave..
Yeah this isn’t the first time I’ve heard of issues with B&M shifters
@@KennySlides guess I'm gonna be swapping it out for this season ,otherwise it's get a 4l80 swap
Just ordered their stage 3 polluter cam shaft for my ls2 corvette and I’m a little sad I missed the promo code. :( oh well, nice vid !
John Rodriguez I feel for ya man, but thanks I really appreciate it!
wonder if I could slide a b-body like your trans am lol. I got a t56 and 4.10s in it but it's stock power to which I assume I'd need a lot more to slide easily. And I guess all the suspension dialing in is also there.
Give it a try man!
So this has a shorter throw than the MGW and Hurst short throw shifters? I have a Hurst on my 99 Camaro and it feels pretty short.
It has a slightly shorter throw but what sets this shifter above the rest are the stiffer centering springs, which make the shifts more precise and crisp which help eliminate miss shifts
@@KennySlides I may give it a try. Thanks for the info.
@@TURBOLSJBALT06 No problem man!
I'll differently check them out. Thank kenny
No problem brotha!
I have a 2001 ss slp camaro and sometimes it doesn't want to go into gear what do you think may be the problem
It can be a number of things. I would give Tick Performance a call and see what they can do for you.
Soo can I have the old shifter or wts the price on it🤔😅 Sweet Video ✌🏾
Thanks bro! ✊🏼
Anyone know how this compares to the 350 buck Hinson shifter?
Back in 97 I ran the B&M Ripper in my LT1 Z28. How does this one differ, aside from color?
With this one, the shifts feel so solid so you never have to wonder if it went into gear fully or if you put it in the wrong gear.
Currently running MGW but really wanna try Tick! Also,what adapter part # did u use for your Momo steering wheel?
I just typed in something like NRG hub Trans Am on Amazon
I know this is an older video but I would really like to know more about your steering wheel setup ...
No problem! It’s a Momo Competition wheel with a NRG hub and quick release
@@KennySlides thank you need to do this with my f-body
Hey how does the centering spring feel? Is it a strong centering spring?
Yeah it definitely has the strongest springs out of all the shifters I’ve used. The shifts feel so solid, especially 2nd to 3rd.
@@KennySlides sweet will definitely have get one thanks for the input!
Blake Johnson No problem man!
We need an honest opinion. Ditch the mgw for one?
If you ever miss 3rd gear, then it’s definitely worth the switch.
I've neevr missed 3rd with my mgw. That being said I like Tick Performance
Sounds awesome!!
What about us that have an automatic...what shifter do you reccomend?
Guess I'm not savy enough to get a pic of one of my rides on UA-cam
A manual swap with a Tick shifter 👍🏼
Hell ya man nice video 🤘
Appreciate it bro! 🤘🏼
No adjustment stops?
Nope they aren’t necessary 👍🏼
Thank you
No problem!
@@KennySlides do they offer a 5 speed short throw?
@@tjtaylor7864 No sorry I don’t believe they do.
In your opinion is it worth the $300 if I already have an mgw shifter?
owen allen If you ever miss a shift like I used too, then it’s well worth it.
Hi, Do you have any idea how it stacks up to the MGW?
Alexander McDole The centering springs are stronger which make the shift from 2nd to 3rd more crisp and effortless
@@KennySlides thanks
Alexander McDole No problem!
@@KennySlides I was just wondering because I have the MGW, So far it's been pretty good and it seems impossible to miss a gear.
Alexander McDole Yeah I had the MGW previously and I would occasionally miss 3rd
What shift knob did you have on the mgw?
It was a MGW Race Knob
When are you going back to play with cleats?
Not sure as of now, but I know he’s working on some upcoming events 👍🏼
@@KennySlides whenever it happens will be epic I'm sure.. Keep banging gears ol son and stay safe God blessed you with a gift that should be no problem for you to be pro.. But things take a little time.

what car is this
Damn that car sounds good sheesh 😩🔥🔥🔥
Appreciate it man! 👊🏼
Did you see what passed him at 6:10 lol
Nice .
Thanks!
Love the machined channel on the lever itself. I had a lous short stick on a pro 5.0 for years and even with the lock washers one of the bolts backed out over time and I almost put my fist through the dash on a 2-3 shift.
So final say MGW or Tick ?
Tick for sure!
Post more please
bruh momento More content coming soon!
Nice!!
Thank ya broski!
Nice 👍
What kind of car is this? Sorry this is the first time watching.
The throws looked somewhat long in my opinion 🤷🏼♂️
How do the throws compare to the MGW unit?
I’ve had one of those before too ! I have a magnum now I want to upgrade.
Down to sell you old MGW? I’m needing one bad lol
I like mine as well
