Just keep at it! It is not a great experience at all, but with patience you can get it!

I have an s197 with an s550 mt82 and that trans has been my biggest battle I get lockout where it won’t even let me get into gear from a standstill. This shifter is my last attempt before throwing it at a shop 😅

I’ve been driving mine all summer with it, and no lockout so far. I’ve heard some people still do have the issue after installing the shifter, and it seems like installing a better clutch, and the steel braided clutch line can help as well

Really helpful mate, weighing up between this or the barton. Want to go the flatstick road. Have you enjoyed the shifter since?

I’ve loved it so far. Huge upgrade over factory, and it seems to have solved my lockout issues. I have no experience with the Barton’s, so I couldn’t tell you which is better. MGW does have a flat stick option in case you aren’t aware, but you probably are.

Still waiting on the Drive man🥹

I will try to get a video of it uploaded soon!

I ordered one I’m always getting 3rd gear lockout . When racing and trying to shift at 6900ish from 2nd to 3rd it 2/4 times say nope so I hope this helps my issues already have an rst clutch installed

I had bad 3rd gear lockout as well before installing the shifter, but haven’t noticed it since. I would think since you have a clutch already, that with the shifter you should be about as solid as you can get. Only other thing might be to do the upgraded line

Could one assemble this all on the trans if I have the trans out of the car?? 🤔🤔

I don’t see why you couldn’t honestly.

@@akgearhead I’ll let you know how it goes! Appreciate the solid video sir

cut the stich and zip tie it. get the Barton if you are getting a shop to do it since its a pita . i got the mgw because they made it easyer to install and adjust so its a easy sell for a diy like me but barton flat stick gets me hot and bothered ......

I’ve just installed mine and notice that it vibrates as I go up in rpms is yours the same?

I have not noticed any noticeable vibrations to speak of. There is probably more than with the stock shifter, just due to the fact that it directly mounts to the transmission, but nothing that has made me be like wow that’s really vibrating.

@@TheCardenasFamyup, overall I’m very happy with it. If you are having super questionable vibrations, I’d make sure and double check all your bolts and make sure they’re tight

Looks like a pita. Prolly just gonna pay the $250 the shop quoted me

If they’re only charging $250, I’d probably go that route. It can be a very frustrating install for sure
