95159516 #1 Installed braided clutch line. No more pedal sticking to the floor on high rpm shifts . Does what its suppose to do. #2 Installed MGW shifter. Did it in the driveway on stands. Took longer than it should because ,your on your back and cant get in there properly when ,and how you need too. It is night and day compared to the stock OEM shifter. Im very happy. The rubber boot to keep the weather out was the hardest thing to put on,lol.

Nice work. Yes that boot is a bit of a pain but the key is to stretch it out as you put it on as I recall.

Just an update on the mods.Clutch pedal hasn't stuck to the floor,at all since install of braided clutch line.The MGW shifter is simply amazing compared to the OEM. Just make sure you adjust the adjustment screw for 1st and 2nd gear.There is a video on the home site ,and on YouTube. Every car is different,so you might have to do it. I found that on downshifts it was sticking going into 2nd, so went back and adjusted it. Goes in like butter,now.Power shifts are an easy now,and lock out in 3rd and 4th are a thing of the past.:mechanic::highfive:

I also figured out that with an SCT tuner you can set up a 2 step launch sequence for the drag-strip. I didn't know it was available in my Tuners adjustment options :facepalm:. I have it set on the lowest rpm which is 2500. It works with the traction control on in "full and sport mode". Tried it out on an industrial street and it worked beautiful.:thumbsup:There is a video on how to set it up on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WyMJqEQTydY .
