i'm gonna call MGW tomorrow, but i just finished up installing mine and it's sticks a little when in neutral and pushed to the right for 5-6 it doesn't bounce back like moving it to the left(1-2). also it is really hard to pop it into reverse. My stock shifter was really hard putting into R but i feel like the MGW is even harder. the rest of the gear changing and what not feels fine. just sticks when moving to the right and the reverse. could this be an alignment issue? i followed the video and it said, or could the anti venom help. plan on doing this just haven't got to it yet.

Installed the MGW shifter with the lower box yesterday - took me about 2 hours. The only install issue I had was making sure the lower box has the correct side "up" with respect to the linkage. At first I assembled it backwards as the video was 180 degrees out from how I was standing.

Suggest MGW add a "this side up" label for dumb s__ts like me.

I did add extra durmat in the torque tube - hoping to reduce any heating and noise problems.

The shifter works great - did Vararam install at the same time and it is like getting a new car.
