    Back in a Mustang

    On Saturday I bought a Grabber Blue '13 GT. Loving it so far, except the shifter sucks willy when under full throttle.

    Get the MGW race shifter. I have the Blowfish bracket because I didn't want to wait, and I wish I would've waited for the MGW. Massive improvement over stock, but still have issues shifting the car in turns and basically anytime the car feels like it doesn't want to shift. Also replace the clutch line and run it away from the headers. Two runs in at our longest Hillclimb i thought I blew the trans or clutch wouldn't shift above 3500, turned out to be the factory plastic line collapsed. Thanks to Tim Rodeheaver for guiding me to that before I replaced the clutch.

    Cool. I've heard of people installing stainless clutch lines, but I never understood why. And that MGW shifter is a thing of beauty, but for now (budget reasons) I got the Barton shifter brace on the way. Found one for $30, so if it cleans up 1-2 under load and 2-3 then it's worth it to me for now.

    And btw, I have no idea how you manage to be so ****ing fast with your car at north hills, but damn lol
