Does anybody have any comments on maddog shifters?
I am looking to upgrade from my twm performance shifter to a maddog...just wanting some feedback...thanks in advance

I kinda think that after you have an aftermarket shifter in there, putting a different one in you probably wont feel a big enough difference for it to matter for street use.

I would say thats true, except for my case...the twm shifter I bought is a big piece of shit...it is constantly giving me problems, and I cant really tell the difference between that one and a stock one

Dumbass responses FTL! So far no one replied anything that was worth informative on the Maddog shifters.

I heard they are great. I've tried an 80% and personally didn't like it. So your better off probably with a 50%. 80% is too short of a throw and you might either miss a gear or not be able to put it in a gear. I just drove a buddy of mine's SRT-4 on Sunday while he worked on mine. He has an 80% Maddog and its really a tight shifter, not tight as in awesome, tight as in stiff and you have to use more arm force to throw through the gears. I had a hard time getting it into 2nd and sometimes 1st. Kept getting into 3rd.

I have a Mopar STS and love it. Some prefer it, some prefer Maddog.

thanxs dude...i am looking at the 72

See if you find someone local with the 72% first before ordering it. That way you can atleast have a feel on how it feels and see if you actually want to buy that one or go lower. Just a suggestion, its good to test a part before actually buying it.

i've got the 50% and love it. i had the mopar before and 2 me there was a big difference

[HAVOKSRT4]

Got the Mopar with Booger Bushings and love it.

The Maddog 72 and 80 felt too tight and short, it seemed pretty good for a 1-2 shift or a 3-4 shift, but from 2-3 or 4-5. I considered the Maddog first because I thought the shorter the better, but it wasn't worth breaking something for a missed throw. Maddog just came up too short <----no pun intended.

^You got booger bushings? Since when? I could of sworn you told me you didn't have them way back when I met you.

[HAVOKSRT4]

^^^ I bought them last week and put them in. Shifter felt great without them, and now, feel even better with them. LOL. :lol:

Did you think I lied to you? I don't lie, especially about my boogers.

[srt4-acr.cpjay]

so you guys would do the mopar shifter with boogers over the maddogs huh?

[srt4-acr.cpjay]

maddog's claim to fame is that they provide hardware for you in order to speed shift without breaking something...so can the mopar bushings provide the same protection as the "rod brake"?

[Figs]

Even those with Maddog shifters worry about missing gears and breaking something so I don't think it provides that much peace of mind. I need to get the booger bushings for my Mopar. The mopar STS isn't like stock but feels better, anything higher then a 50% throw on a Maddog could get irritating.

I'm not downing Maddog, I just wouldn't get anything higher then a 50%. If I didn't get the Mopar I would've gotten the Maddog. But since I have the Mopar STS I'm not going to invest in another STS unless this one breaks or something.
