Short throw shifter install


Recommended Posts

After running the track at Spring Mountain and downshifting from 5th to 2nd a couple times the Mayor convinced me to put in an MGW MT-82 shifter. Since Michael had already installed one on his GT350 I let him “assist” me for my installation. :shades:

In other words, he installed it, I handed him stuff.

 

All the parts ready go.

Remove all the stuff and you have a hole. You need to get under the car to as well to get everything undone.

Stock parts go into storage.

They do a good job of providing sound proofing.

Almost there.

Back together ready for Laguna Seca next week.

I also put on my track wheels and tires. This part I could handle.

Very interested in how this item performs. Keep us posted.

 

I would also be interested in some more info on your track wheel choice. Are they CCW?

Andy,

 

Are we to assume the 40th is retired from track duty now that the 350 is in the barn?

 

 

Oh no. I have not driven the GT350 full tilt yet on Laguna Seca. The fastest color will be back on track soon.

I had a great day at Laguna Seca. Not one missed shift. There is a little bit of a whirring sound on the street that is transferred up through the drive train. For the track this shifter is the way to go. I had a blast running with my bud with a Boss 302.
