There is an adjustment for gate alignment.

Maybe you should include those instructions with the product? I wasn't aware that could be an issue when I bought it... Thanks for the tip though.

[JBR]

The instructions are in the support section of our website and have been for 4 years.

Sorry, I'm not an expert at everything automotive (always trying to learn). All I had questioned was whether or not it might have been a good idea to mention that the use of this plate might require the shifter to be adjusted. As a fellow small business owner, I know the importance of keeping my clients/customers happy. I just thought you could have been a little more friendly with your advice (rather than standoffish). I'm sorry for questioning your companies professionalism. Take care.

Bought this along with solid shifter bushings. Night and day. I didn't realize how far gone my lockout was until I slapped this bad boy in. No wonder my 1st and 2nd shifts were so out of whack. I was all the way in reverse territory. Thanks for the product! Now I'm eyeing up that short shifter. Hmm...

[FenixTX717]

Will be ordering this and base bushings this weekend!

[Djohns]

Hope the gen pu comes out soon! like very soon. Had alot of notchy feeling in my shifts so I checked out the shifter and found plastic shavings all caught in the grease

Damnit I need this for the MS6 . Should i go ahead and squash those dreams now? Or is there a chance in hell this will be made for the 6?

[TJ446]

Just received mine today. Well made and perfect fit. Takes about 10 min to install and a slight adjustment of the shifter cable. Thanks JBR! Putting it into reverse is solid as well as the shift from first to second. My original plastic wasn't worn too much either.

There's a different part for the 2nd Gen. Oddly, I only see it available as a package deal from JBR along with the adjustable short shifter for some reason.

@jbarone; is the 2nd Gen MS3 gate guide available for purchase on its own, or is it only compatible along with the short shifter?

I'm not sure actually. I bought it from a private seller. I'll have to ask him about that. however, if I don't have a warranty where do I find The part I need??

We have it available but it only comes with our GEN 2 short shifter. The gate guide itself is not compatible with the OEM shifter.

[amoosenamedhank]

I was just looking at my OEM shifter yesterday and noticed all the wear from the reverse lock out pin... I was wondering if someone made this and BAM JBR does.

[djrich26]

Installed mine last night. Smooth as butter.

[SeeMeGovan]

Had mine in for around 3 months now, great cheap & easy mod. JBR, you make my shifting feel so gooooooooood

We do not and there's no plans to make one.
