Just completed this on '13 ROUSH Stage 3. This video walked me through it perfectly. I'm not mechanically gifted- but completed with zero issues. Blown away at the difference!! Thanks again

[@rmartin5285]

Jack should have spent a few less bucks on the 26 Roush decals and emblems that appear on the RS3 cars and spent the money saved on a proper shifter in the first place. IMO.

[@Sforschondetta]

Just installed this with a jack and two jack stands. The bracket is a big pain in the rear and would of rather paid $100 to get it installed professionally. For any future lurkers looking at this video wanting to do there own install and you dont have a lift hers a few tips that the video just skips right over. The passenger clip on the stock bracket is absolutely horrible. I found the best way to remove it is to just pull the stock bracket down and use the other side as leverage as the clip will bend to your pulling. your not getting it off with pliers and a screwdriver, your just not. The boot on the shifter although mentioned is also an incredible pain as well. The boot is really stiff and theirs very little room to stretch over the base. I started by dropping it on the drivers side first. then i just pulled really hard on the entire boot from the passenger side to get it over the opposite side.

[@Zerogivengarage]

I tried to stress that in the video, its amazing the issues that can be caused if the boot is not installed 100% correctly. Glad to hear you figured it out.

[@TMB247]

I am so happy that you guys do these vids, In a small town it is such a help to just show the Tech (that already says he knows) but he watches and learns and now does it quicker and makes More Money and I get a Properly installed part. (Dealership Loves me)

[@Rudizel]

"Since its the Boss's car we want to take it easy" and just punches it ahahhahhaha had me rolling. Btw did you use lock tight on those bracket bolts? According to the MFG they recommend lock tight but I'm not sure if its necessary. Great videos BTW very good quality and good explanation.

[@Zerogivengarage]

+rudy top I used a small dab which isn't a bad idea.

[@srtjerome2902]

@@Zerogivengarage blue loctite?

[@griffenatekevinbacon]

This upgrade was worth every fuckin penny. Shifts like a dream no slipping into reverse on 1st

[@Its_3055]

Did you have to adjust the shifter at all because I've heard the reverse lockout can get weird with these things

[@billtumas5826]

Yes the factory lower rubber seal that you reinstall on the new shifter. There is a groove that it goes into and it's very important to the shifters operation that the seal is installed properly

[@spalomin0]

I'm getting ready to buy the combo and this video is perfect!!!

[@richardmaaske7483]

How about , putting a little Lithium grease on the shifter ball.Before putting barton shifter onto Transmission.

[@nightwolf2104]

Just be careful when tightening the main two bolts that hold the 2 post bracket to the body, as I accidentally broke one off on my new 2014 Mustang GT. I had to then drill through the sheared bolt, and I used different bolt and nut from hardware store.

[@Zerogivengarage]

Honestly that will depend on your dealer. Barton makes the Ford Racing shifter so Ford knows its a quality part, and it is better for the transmission, but the dealer could possibly still call it a modification and not cover the transmission if it fails. The two post bracket is easier to install and its beefier than the standard one piece.

[@TheDarren256]

Dam are you chirping the tires in 1st thru 4th?

[@MithroJin]

Yeah stock 255s are easy to spin... too easy.

[@robertdarling5959]

I still chirp tires with 305’s

[@Bigal-mi2vy]

I had to laugh while I was doing this because they cut the video before they showed how much of a pain in the ass getting that retaining clip off the passenger side bolt was! Might have been easier if I had a lift. Did this on my back in the garage with jack stands at 3/4 maximum height they could go. Getting that rubber boot around the shifter base wasn't a picnic either. I got er done tho!

[@Djuane]

Bigal396 1969 ill be doing this fun install next week on my 14 5.0 with a steeda shifter and bracket with bushing. Hopefully it goes smoothly ive never done it before.

[@isnowyazn]

Niceass pull AND the AC was ON. Lol!

[@hazaaalkhayat4910]

does the reverse supposed to be tough? cuz with me its hard to put it into reverse

[@kalgstol]

Quick question Bill. I was wondering if you knew whether or not a short throw would void the warranty on my transmission? Also, would you be able to tell me the difference between the regular barton shifter bracket, and the two post shifter bracket? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Your videos are the best out there, keep up the good work!

[@Zerogivengarage]

There will be a slight increase in NVH but it should be barely noticeable, sounds like the dealer did something wrong with with the install. Sounds like the 2 post bracket may not have been installed properly.

[@tomc9417]

Ford racing Short throw or Barton.... Whats your preference Bill? I've also been reading over some material regarding the MGW short throw.... Trying to determine the best angle

[@Zerogivengarage]

The Ford Racing shifter is made by Barton so they are the same.

[@CursezZz]

Can you do the short shifter by itself with out the bottom bracket?

[@Zerogivengarage]

You can but the bracket does make a noticeable difference

[@billtumas5826]

It can be a little stiff at first but if it's hard to get in most times the seal is not seated properly around the base .

[@Cougar5099]

Lol yep dust boot needs to be properly installed. Now reverse is just like factory. Niceeeee like I said this should be the first mod for all manual mt82`s. #Awesome!

[@alcanhg]

How exactly did you remove the console? I was just looking at my car and don't want to break anything.

[@Zerogivengarage]

Just like I did in the video. Pull up carefully from the back, its held in my clips

[@williamdelapena1121]

Hey bud I'm getting locked out in 1st and second. Any suggestions.?

[@MTEIsrael]

Did you get it fixed?

[@williamdelapena1121]

@@MTEIsrael no.. I have to put it into neutral before I come to a complete stop. Decided to live with it until I get a new clutch.. Barton said It might be the clutch. Installed both at the same time...

[@jershaus]

Ive been reading reviews, after a month. Im going MGW.

[@SNeal5966]

How much of a difference between this and the hybrid 3 that moutns to the trans?

[@AJ-cr6cd]

How does this compare to the ford racing short shifter?

[@isaiah-lava5.086]

Is the shifter boot 100% necessary to even reinstall? Other than to reduce nvh?

[@hazaaalkhayat4910]

Very nice, I want one for my 2013 Roush, Does it include guide for installation?

[@400hpmustang]

The bosses car so I'm gonna take it easy. laughing. What's the difference between this shifter kit and the other Barton kit. One is a two post and the other single post?

[@cjponyparts]

The 2 post bracket is an updated beefier design. - Bill

[@Eslamizar]

I have to get an aftermarket shifter for my mustang.... the factory one is too blah.

[@hazaaalkhayat4910]

Which seal? you mean the rubber?

[@matthewbecker7164]

Absolutely love the aftermarket Boss 302 shift knob. Where would I be able to find one of those??? Preferably one that looks just like the OEM Ford one or is an OEM Ford one?

[@matthewbecker7164]

Oh... Figured it out. These guys actually have them on their website!!! Only website I've found with the OEM Boss Shift Knob. If you look up "Boss 302 Shift Knob" in the search bar on cjponyparts.com it comes up for anyone interested

[@fatsmile77]

Hi Bill, is it normal to hear and feel the grind each time to shift? The throw is great, but the sound that it makes is just ugly to the ear. Please advice Bill, thank you!

[@Zerogivengarage]

There should be no grinding when you shift.

[@zeros1979]

@@Zerogivengarage Hi bill, i just got mine but mine tends to grind and there's a lot of sound coming from the shifter. I know since it has a more mechanical feel vibrations are sure to be present. although when i press the clutch when idle the grinding feel disappears. do you think it may be a gear problem instead? also when i go into first it goes into reverse although I haven't pressed down the shifter. Any type of information would be helpful. thanks!

[@peewilliewanker7220]

what did he use the 1/2 inch wrench on ?

[@61484]

Vibrations too?

[@Hayabusagsxr1300]

Does this shifter allow you to not put it in reverse instead of first by mistake?

[@Zerogivengarage]

The lockout works just like factory.

[@88marquel]

I'm installing the short shifter along with the two post bracket this weekend how long do you think it will take for a first timer lol? I hear the boot can be a B***h to fit back on

[@Zerogivengarage]

+Marquel White The boot is a PITA to get right but spend the time and make sure is it 100% seated properly.

[@61484]

Does this eliminate high rpm lockout?

[@Zerogivengarage]

It can help depending on the situation but a lot times that is clutch related.

[@geestang2662]

So your the Boss?

[@tazaxx21]

Let's be honest. It's a short throw arm, and a nice body mount bracket... doesn't replace the lower shifter components.

[@abdullahsameer9035]

Bill i have high RPM lockouts what can eliminate this problem !?!

[@Zerogivengarage]

Lockouts can be clutch or shifter related, the shifter will definitely help

[@ITGUYONTHEFLY]

Abdullah Samir turn off your traction control button and that will take care of high RPM issues

[@abdullahsameer9035]

ITGUYONTHEFLY thanks for your professional advice !!

[@frankiefivefingers6892]

Which shift there is better the Barton or the ford racing shifter... Around a $130 difference

[@cjponyparts]

Barton makes the Ford Racing shifter.

[@frankiefivefingers6892]

CJ Pony Parts does come with a shifter ball like the ford??

[@cjponyparts]

frankie fivefingers the standard Barton does bit but it’s available a few different ways

[@frankiefivefingers6892]

🙏 thx

[@MiddleofNowhereDuff]

The main (lower) shifter rod is utter garbage, it's just pop can aluminum. This is what broke on my 2011 GT this summer, not so great action the shit break and they want to rip you off for the one part. My homemade custom shifter won't fail like this one would.

[@61484]

Anybody have trouble with the barton shifter? Have trouble shifting into first or second if its in neutral and i push shifter hard to the left wont go in into first or second, i have to push to the left lightly and it will go in ok Anybody else have this problem with barton or the ford racing?

[@BIGBADSPARTAN217]

+61484 did you fallow the step where hes admit about putting the rubber b oot on properly

[@hdashti2810]

I have Borton shifter n its pain to get it in reverse is that normal ?

[@Zerogivengarage]

I have found when reverse is difficult it is almost always because the factory boot around the shifter base is not seated properly.

[@gripdivision6240]

Bill Tumas i have a feeling that the issue i have . i'll check the boot tomorrow morning .

[@manny13svt4]

is the same for a 2013 Shelby GT500?

[@cjponyparts]

It is similar but the install for the GT500 is a little more involved.

i figured, thank you
