Guess that leaves me out too.....in Canada. It'll be interesting to see what you've come up with though.

They do have sharp edges. I posted a pic of my second gear synchro here. https://trackmustangsonline.com/index.php?topic=7917.0

Re: those with shifter issues, enter now!
i have 3 spots left. if you didn't get on the list in the first post, its likely because you have an MGW shifter. Its a very popular shifter indeed! I need to get the last 3 spots filled in with folks with issues and an aftermarket shifter other than the MGW to get the broadest demographic possible. thanks!

Im not elligable (Canadian), but at the drag strip last Friday I had a 1-2 shift lock out 3 times, and a 2nd-3rd once. I only have a Whiteline tranny insert with the stock shifter. Oh and I beat a 2003 Viper once. lol

In my opion...why would you want to spend your money on items that don't really fix the problem. I'm holding off untill this item comes to market. Good things take time!

Re: those with shifter issues, enter now!
i can't tell you if you should buy parts or not, but this is my experience with it:
i tried the original prototype out on my car with no other shifter products. i found the shifting accuracy increased dramatically. i was able to repeatably powershift (gas pedal matted) 2-3 an astounding 100% of the time, where before i was at about 25% success from a highway on-ramp (this became part of my test loop) and about 60% success on the drag strip. i had issues finding the proper gear during on track heel-toe downshifting about 25% of the time. that is also gone.
the stock shifter was working very well, but i missed the tight and crisp shifting the steeda tri-ax shifter gave me. so, i put the steeda back on and its just so much nicer of an experience. it just feels more direct with a well-built aftermarket shifter.
so, in my experience, a good shifter with this magical new product of mine is a match made in heaven. i would actually like to do my own shifter down the road and do it as a complete package, as i still think there is room for improvement over every shifter on the market today, but thats a major undertaking to do it the way i want it. it will be a while.
i would stay away from the barton bracket or any other manfacturer's variation of it. my doodad does away with these brackets, so you will just end up putting it on ebay. the whiteline insert is a matter of preference. it will not help or hurt shifting with the blowfish solution. don't under any circumstance get the CHE torque limiter. thats just a huge strain on the bellhousing. i think that covers all the "shifting aids".
if your clutch pedal sticks to the floor, that is a different issue. go ahead and find anything you can to fix it. you will want your clutch working well once your shifter starts working right!

Hmm, I have a Steeda short shifter but haven't installed it (I just wanted the bracket included; got it used). If you think I may be of use if I install the short shifter, I'll try it out. I still get crunchy gears and missed a handful of shifts the last time on track. No whiteline insert.

Re: those with shifter issues, enter now!
part are all present and accounted for. they have been test fit and fit perfectly (with the OE shifter box). i will have everything boxed up and ready to ship monday...for those without the MGW.
i received my MGW today and its not going to be an easy adaptation. it might take a week or 2 to have parts made to work. testers with MGW's, hang tight.
