MGW Shifter Install/Review for 2013 Boss 302! Is It Worth It?

Ойын-сауық

Finishing the drivetrain upgrades after the Exedy Mach 600 Kit, a MGW spec shifter is exactly what the Boss 302 lacked. After a lightly time consuming install this shifter feels amazing and the car feels completely different. Stay tuned as I build the Boss further!

    UPDATE: After having a crank re-learn done I have had no codes so far!

    Installing mine tomorrow luckily I have a lift. Probably the best install video I’ve seen. Nice job!

    I’m in desperate need of a lift lol. The ceilings just aren’t high enough for it. I really do appreciate that, I take a lot of time to edit. Hope you enjoy yours!

    100%. I wish the lifting ramps on them were a tad bit more narrow and/or adjustable however

    Great work Connor!! A deal fell through where a guy was gonna give me his used Barton shifter with blowfish bracket for $200. I definitely think I’m going with the MGW shifter now even though it’s more $$. Glad the IDS relearn did the trick so far to keep those misfire codes absent !! Thanks for the shoutouts too.

    Thank ya sir! In hindsight that may have worked out to your favor. I’ve seen Barton shifters in person and I wasn’t all that impressed. The MGW feels rock solid, I’m glad on the misfire codes too 👍🏻 but I’m always up for a challenge and you’re welcome!

    I might have missed this, but was the shifter the X spec Standard, or xspec low profile?

    So this one is the only one I saw now on MGWs website, that being said it’s the flat stick handle just because I like having something a little different. I thought the ergonomics of it were nicer than the standard handle

    The factory shifter is dogshit. Great upgrade. The Barton is much easier install but not quite as good a unit.
