X-SPEC Short Throw Shifter

The MGW X-SPEC is a no-compromises short-throw shifter engineered for competition racing and daily driving, designed specifically for MT-82 equipped Ford Mustang GT, Boss 302, and V6 models. It provides a true "top loader" feel with a solid mount to the transmission via billet strut arms and a solid linkage rod. This X-SPEC model offers the shortest possible throw reduction, achieving up to a 25% decrease in shift length compared to the stock shifter. Customers can also opt for a Low Profile handle to achieve even greater throw reduction. The table provided shows throw reduction percentages for various configurations, with the X-SPEC Standard handle offering a 21% reduction and the X-SPEC Low Profile handle offering a 25% reduction. An updated design for 2016 makes installation significantly easier and faster. The more compact unit fits inside the car's oval cutout fully assembled, potentially saving 30 minutes or more during installation. This updated design is beneficial whether you are performing the installation at home or at a performance shop. Important considerations include potential clearance issues with 4-inch driveshafts, particularly if the vehicle has been lowered. Additionally, a specific setting procedure, outlined in an installation video, must be completed for the shifter to function properly. The thread size is M12 x 1.25, which is OEM for 2005-2022 Mustang GT/V6/Ecoboost and 2007-2009 GT500. This shifter features a white finish and a 6-speed shift pattern with reverse in the upper right position.
