I just installed an mgw shifter on my 03z, and it is a night and day difference. Great videos man👌

MGW is a good shifter i have it my 08 GT about 3 months love it

That last minute is what we really wanted to see!!!! Awesome vid!!

Great Video! Just bought one can't wait to install it!

Great video! I use the mgw on my 08 gt500, it's an absolute must for the s197 cars. I've have b&m, steeda, cheap eBay, and Hurst. Mgw's design and feel is unbelievable and next level compared to anything I've ever used before. I'll only use MGW in all my cars now.

MGW is amazing! Complete night and day difference on my 99 Cobra! Loves the vids!

I dig the personal touch with the radio display.. car is awesome..

Great video I have one in my GTO and it's an absolutely amazing shifter. Also no confusion of what gear you're going to.

love my mgw in my cobra!

Like your vids. When i had my 99 and 03 Cobras i had a steeda triax. Was perfect on the 99 but didnt like it on my 03. Your vids make me miss those cars. Had kids so needed a more practical car. My version of a minivan is my 2014 ruby red raptor. And my wifes grocery getter is a 2012 srt8 Cherokee. Your vids have made me get the itch for another 03-04 Cobra.

Mustang Lifestyle MGW is a big difference when it comes 2 shifting! You learn something new every day. Meaning, how you replaced, the old shifter, to putting in the new 1. Very impressive! Other than the whine of the supercharger (Not Feeling) the sound. But I hear the meanest, of the Cobra, when you got on it!

So sick cobra... And nicely done video mate! Gonna get my hands on one next year.

Well actually 3 years that I've owned it!

When this guy removed his existing shifter, the shifter bushing was not on the ball end of the shifter (the part that fits into the transmission). Sometimes you have to fish the bushing out of the transmission. He also didn't mention swapping the bushing onto the MGW shifter. You have to do this.

great vid bro

You can lower the standard handle down further and it'll be close to race handle but more comfortable imo. You can raise it by halfway up and be close to their comfort handle. I like the standard handle cuz it can be adjusted towards race or if you're going for a long cruise to a show, adjust it up to comfort. I swear by mgw in my 03 gt vert.

Having a short throw installed in my cobra not sure what kind he chose hopefully it's a good one

good taste of the music man I'm already used to the song

I have the same on my 04 Cobra 🐍 try and angle the orange pc to 7-8 o'clock instead of 6 o'clock makes for reaching it a lot easier if u go with the race stick.. I did the same and ordered two Race and the middle one from standard..

I ended up adjusting it a bit just like you mentioned. Felt much better.

Hey man. I enjoy the videos. I'm pretty sure the gold ringed cover is supposed be over the shifter base but UNDER the orange block. Anyway do you feel the MGW is worth the price? I'm currently rocking the El Cheapo from LMR because my stock shifter was worn out garbage.

great vid. I currently have a pro 5.0 installed on my Gt and I find it really stiff and notchy from gear to gear. It's occasionally grind to 2nd but that's it. I'm seriously thinking of switching to the Mgw

Pretty much same story: have a pro 5 in the car. Sorry as it is... miss shifts, grinds. It came in the car when purchased. I trust this will make a big difference for me, as I absolutely could not stand the pro 5.0 setup. Thinking about an install this evening. Take care! J

Will a short throw shifter fix the shifter being tilted towards the driver?

7:55 It's definitely smoother... WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. :-) Well that escalated quickly!

Mgw is the way to go. Best shifter on the market.

I have a mgw shifter on my 03 cobra best shifter hands down but too bad i need a new clutch and its hard to shift at wot

did you adjust the compression clamps, or stops? I'm having an issue some going to 3rd and have went to 1st several times or it appeared to not want to find or go in 3rd

Gotta change that handle.....Are you going with the Mcleod RXT?

Man. I have the Pro 5.0 and it feels like my trans is taking a shit, thing feels like it’s 2 clicks before it goes all the way in, gonna have to order this

This is a long shot, but where did you get that orange gasket?

Very informative video. I've been ruminating over replacing the stock shifter on my 2003 Cobra. You make installation look easy. I'm not real handy with cars. On a side note, the audio system you have looks awesome. Do you have info on the make and model of the system? Thanks.

The system is stock besides the head unit. It is a Pioneer head unit. Not sure on model. Very simple unit that works well. As for the shifter. It is super simple to install and MGW makes it super easy with included allan hex wrenches and gasket.

Thanks for the info. Do you know anything about a supercharger pulley upgrade? It's my next mod but I don't know where to go for a kit or to find a tuner to do the work. Appreciate your feedback.

I've got the 03 mach 1. Besides the CAI,Ported/polished intake and pypes exhaust, it is stock. the clutch will be changed out very soon. Wanting to get a short throw shifter. I live out in the sticks here in Lipan,Tx. We don't have access to performance parts except through Autozone,OReillys or online sales. SO, TRIAX OR MGW???

You looked exactly like one of the twin babies from rugrats at the first of the video!

I wonder how that shifter compares to my steeda triax. I went from upr to steeda tri ax and tri ax was a much shorter throw. I gotta try mgw someday maybe.

I hated the Steeda Tri Ax on my 2001 Cobra. But that is just personal preference. I loved my pro 5.0 on the 3650 in the 01 Cobra but did not like the pro 5.0 on the t56 in my 03 cobra.

Hm,sounds like trans and gear ratios mix and matching shifters makes a difference. Well ive had upr blue thunder in my 92 5.0 and in my 94 5.0. My current cobra came with a tri ax and its a t-45 but still i can tell its still shorter than my previous upr's but to be honest i still like how my t-5 shifted,not so fond of this t-45 and it will need a rebuild later this year sometime

I've only ever had Tri-Ax shifters but everything I've ever heard is that the MGW is the best. Mine were installed by the previous owners, I'm debating whether or not it's worth the swap.

I had an MGW on my 2000 Camaro Z28 and loved it. I've also driven two SN Cobra's with t45's, one had an MGW with the standard handle and the other had an MGW with a race handle. Race handle was too short and made some shifts difficult but when you got it right, it slammed home. I'd go with the standard. Much more comfortable to daily it around/cruise with. I have a Triax in my 99GT and am looking to replace it with an MGW. MGW has much better return to center and gate feel. Comparing all the common t45/t56 Mustang shifters, in order of preference: MGW w/ Standard Handle > Triax > Pro 5.0 > BBK.

Most videos I have watched on mustangs ,they always change shifters

Hey andrew! Would you recommend a Short throw shifter?? Ive been thinking on getting one bc i really do not like the stock shifter, feels so terrible sometimes and is not the smoothest ever , but what do you guys think? Any specific brand or so? Love the vid btw!!

Technical question for Andrew: When doing VMP dyno pulls.... Can the 2015-2017 Mustang GT factory speed limiter cause the fuel shutoff to happen early. I have Roush phase 2 installed and and fuel shut-off is happening at 6850 rpm on dyno pulls. (625 RWHP). I have 3.55 rear.

@MustangLifestyleTV

7 жыл бұрын

What tune are you currently running? It is possible to hit speed limiter. It is all a good idea to remove the ABS fuse + the "tree" plug on the passenger side where the cold air intake sits. It depends how high of RPM you are bringing it up to.

@MustangLifestyleTV

7 жыл бұрын

I meant driver side. Sorry. The ABS fuse is in the fuse box. It will disable all traction control/advance track. If you wanted to remove the speed limiter you could get a aftermarket tune. VMP Performance's tunes are very good especially for 15+ Roush/TVS cars.

hey Mustang Lifestyle, is your center console vent bezel rattling? i notice you are using the old "card" trick. My new edge had the same issue, to stop the rattling it took off the entire bezel, you will notice where the bezel rested against ( or rather, where would rattled against) was a small "edge" of the dash right behind it. What i did to fix it was i got some the "soft" side of Velcro and cut it to fit the width of that edge and put it all around the edge. This "cushioned" the bezel and filled the empty space preventing the damn thing from rattling like a toy. If you have a similar issue give it a try so you don't have to use cards or pennies to shut it up.

I have been wanting to do it for a while. I just haven't had the chance to take apart the center console. I will definitely do that. Thanks for the advice. And yes it rattles without the cards there. Typical New Edge lol.

Scott had some interesting outcome at the track stay tuned!

I've never understood the fascination with mustangs. They all sound the same no matter what you do to them. They all look the same no matter what you do to them. They're only good for one thing performance-wise and that's 1/8 or 1/4 mile racing. Now I understand to each their own, but if you were going to build a "performance" car wouldn't you build one that was an all-around car? Cimino's down it Myrtle Beach during Mustang week or Ford week not sure what it's called in some of these guys had a hundred thousand plus dollars put into these Mustangs and none of them or capable of keeping up with the stock 911 or Corvette on the track. I just don't get that loud look at me single purpose vehicle mentality I guess. Then there's the orders the only people worse then Mustang owners are Duramax owners. 🤣🤣🤣

learn to shift then complain
