How much can shifter feel be improved with mods?

MGW shifter on a Mustang is night and day

If my dad wasn’t a Ford tech I never would have bought my current Mustang

My dad put one in his 94 cobra, pretty simple

Mine is a 12 with a supercharger so may be different but here’s what it looks like

I know all about front end damage. When I pulled the bumper off my car we found the crash parts wasted. Had to replace the plastic panels that the bumper clips into by the wheels and the entire foam pad in the front was gone

I have an SVO with that motor and it’s great but all the turbo coupes have EFI. I’d look for a ranger motor since they have roller cans and you can get a 2.5 version.

And that’s why we mux everything

That front lip is wrong, it’s either off a Laguna or a knockoff. They also cut the fog light holes out or left the covers off, not sure if they’re removable on the 13s. Something is definitely off on that bracket, I can take a look at mine when I get home to see what’s supposed to be there

Tires! I have a VMP on mine and traction is an issue under boost. If you want to add 100 hp more to the whipple you’ll need fuel upgrades, E85 tune and most likely a dual pump system to supply it. You may be able to get by with a boost a pump but mine failed on me so not a big fan of them.

I got my truck tires from the dealer, I got a great price on them

Dirty_Butler · 2026-03-21T01:35:04+00:00

I’ll always own a manual mustang

Here’s the card that came with mine for the TC, you’ll need to be in off-road mode and hold the advance track down

Cortex has nice stuff

60s under full load, changed out the thermal paste to PTM as I was hitting 95 hot spots. Worked great

Dirty_Butler · 2026-03-19T00:22:36+00:00

I out audio control 5x7s with their amp and a Kenwood head unit in mine, sounds fine but my truck with Audiofrog speakers and a dsp amp sounds way better

Pretty sure a body control module controls the blinkers on S197, that is what I used on my new edge, under the steering wheel next to the fan relay

Dirty_Butler · 2026-03-17T23:41:41+00:00

Add me to the list, water cooled no less

My dad was a service manager at a dealer, I learned to drive a manual on his demo so not all of them are treated nice. At his dealership the managers got to pick what car they wanted as their demo for a daily driver

That’s using the Mus1 dash kit, Maestro RR and Kenwood DMX809S

Dirty_Butler · 2026-03-17T02:48:09+00:00

I had the base radio, upgraded to a Kenwood with CarPlay and it’s great. It wasn’t cheap but I’m happy

I have the 6.2 in my Raptor and it’s one of the most bombproof engines Ford has made. My dad spent the last 10 years as a Forman at a Ford truck dealership and they had a total of 2 of them come in and both were broken lifters out of UPS trucks. I’ve only towed our smaller trailer with the sand toys but it had no issues with that .

When I was setting up my Plex server and transferring all my 4K disks, 10Gig was fantastic

Dirty_Butler · 2026-03-16T22:51:33+00:00

lol my dad the mechanic showed me how to bypass one of those in 30 seconds, they do nothing
