I love it.
It's really not a bad job. I followed the installation video and had no issues. I do have the newest version for a S197 which made install easier.I bought the MGW shifter yrs ago but never got it installed......It's sitting in the shipping box right beside me as I type........Installing it is something I can't handle and I never found anybody I could trust to do it...........so that is that....................View attachment 85840
You can always have free labor at my shop Bob. Just buy the Pepsi. (That's my special Friends and Family rate). I've installed three so far. Fairly easy.I bought the MGW shifter yrs ago but never got it installed......It's sitting in the shipping box right beside me as I type........Installing it is something I can't handle and I never found anybody I could trust to do it...........so that is that....................
We need to get MGW as a vendor here. Their customer service is great. The one I got was for a S550 M82. Shipped it to them to get reworked for a S197. Something like 70 bucks later with my shipping I had a converted and gone through shifter. The only problem I had was FedEx kept trying to drop off after hours. Once they got they shipped 24 hours later.Recommended change for all S550s ( GT 350, Mach 1 , GTs, etc. ) because even with the Tremec it gives the shifter a shorter throw, it's tighter, and it makes a missed shift almost impossible. For the S550s with MT-82s it is turns the linkage positive enough to make a grown man cry!
If you make house calls, I would have something else to add to that Pepsi...............After the install, of course.....................You can always have free labor at my shop Bob. Just buy the Pepsi.
Yes. The factory shifter is better on the 550 than the 197, but. The shorter throw, crisper feel and self centering features on the MGW make it a must do mod.Is this a recommended change for a S550 also?
I don't think I'm real happy with g-locs. These are R-12s with 4.5 track days. A bit over half pad left and they are shot. I picked up another set for cheap so will give them one more try. My friend said heat could be doing it but am running Vorshlag deflector plates and saw cracking some cracking after 2 days . I guess the cracks went deeper than it looked. The ones on the right were on the driver's side then moved to the passager after I saw the cracks. It's not my calipers. The pads are wore even in and out in both sides. The EBC RP-1s that I won here and new rotors go on after the new set of 12s go.
View attachment 86160 I have gone through several sets of R12's on the front with the 14" 4 piston Brembo set up and had a little bit of cracking by the time the pads were in need of a change, but never anything like that. I was getting pretty high brake temp when coming off track and went to R16's. Did you try sending the pics to Danny at GLoc to see if he had any ideas?
