I agree.....I'm using the comfort handle & clean Mobil 1 ATF & its awesome.....you just have to try it to know for sure......if you don't like it , I'm sure you could sell it

Re: 2003 Mach1 / 3650 Tremec

ok great. I have been using my stock shifter for 145,000 miles and many of those are on road courses. it seemed ok until I got my 2012 Track Pak GT a few years ago so now the mach 1 shifter seems like it's as long as a country mile but I don't want to change it out if the effort required to make the shift requires tooo much effort.

Re: 2003 Mach1 / 3650 Tremec

I went from a pro 5.0 to an MGW shifter and it took me a couple days to get used to it, it was so much shorter than the pro 5.0 I was no longer sure what gear I was in just by hand placement. It was definitely more effort but it worked a lot better

I hear the shifters in the T56's are nice stock.

I went with the comfort handle on my MGW because I'm pretty much a granny shifter and didn't figure the normal or racing handle would do me a bit of good. That really made the handle location better for my short arms too.
