Another MGW Question
I have been reading the posts regarding the MGW short throw shifter. Not a lot of current posts though.
I would like to get one for my 2003. Many of the posts mention the anti-venom kit. What is this and how do I get it and install it? I understand it makes for a smoother shift.
Many times when the car sits for a few days I can't get it into 1st or reverse unless I massage it.

Here is a DIY done by Togue.

It explains the procedure step by step. It will take the notchy feel out of short shifters, but I doubt it will solve the getting it into gear issue. Something you may try is to put it into 3rd and then go to 1st or reverse.

I did the mod and didn't make any difference on my stock shifter. I was told that it may have been because it was a stock shifter maybe it only works on after market shifter, not sure. U have to access this detent device from under the car, it is on the passenger side of the transmission. I got the washers from Advance auto parts but U can get them from any of the parts stores. Good luck
