I bought a Barton shifter 3 years ago & the difference is like night & day. No more missed shifts from 2nd to 5th. If I ever sell my Challenger it's coming out & the stock shifter is going back in.
Nice last name lol. I’m installing my Barton when it comes in Friday
@@lawrence2012v8 nice first name
you shift from 2nd to 5th
Just installed mine on my 2018 Challenger Hellcat and thought it would be a smoother gear change than the factory . It’s very clunky and stiff , getting into 5th is a challenge. Hoping it gets better over time
@@stevenmartin3374 That's so discouraging to hear ,I have read other reviews saying the same ,I found 5-6 and 6-5 a nightmare on stock 2023 RT ,,sounds like it got worse ,yes a shorter throw is nice but not at the cost of hard shifting , keep us posted
A great 1st mod that makes driving a manual a much more engaging and satisfying experience.
Takes a little bit of getting used to, but I just remember that Pro 5.0 shifter in your '94 mustang, so good!
It definitely gets better after you break it in. I remember my shoulder being sore when I first used it.
It blows my mind that this man only has 13.7k subs. These videos are amazing. Keep up the good work man!!
Thank you for watching Michael!
I like how matter of fact you are. A true máster of his craft. Loved when you were explaining the upgraded feature of having 6 bolts of safety as opposed to just 2. You’ve got the right spirit man
When I bought my Barton there was ONE video on it. First mod. Best mod. The stock shifter is a wire coat hanger in comparison. My mechanic test drove my ‘10 RT after putting a Maggie on and was really impressed with the shifter. That’s all he talked about, not the extra 120 hp to the wheels!
How did you get an extra 120 to the wheels?
Great video. One thing to watch for. When you put the console back make sure the seat belts are clear. I didn't notice mine went into the console until I started driving after installing everything
That is a classic mistake that I've made several times during console removal and installations, great tip!
I installed one of these not long ago. The original shifter was sloppy and I absolutely despised the pistol grip, but the Barton took care of both of these problems. Worth every penny.
It's a couple months later, and the shifter has loosened up dramatically, but retains that terrific feel. So happy with it 👍
I have a 2016 R/T 6M and have had my Barton since July 2019. I regret not getting it earlier. Hurst shifters were good in the '60-70's but I feel (IMHO) they haven't kept up with technology/designs and newer materials. Thanks for another great vid!
Makes such a difference! Thanks for watching!
This makes me want to go buy a 6.4 Scat Pak and send it to you for all the upgrades....😎💯
The exact video I was looking for, I just bought a 2010 and needed to see how to install this upgrade! Thank you for your detailed information. 🤙🏻
Glad I could help, and thank you for watching! 👍
Turned out awesome ! I love that car man , can’t wait to see more vids
Thanks Ryan, hopefully more challenger views coming soon, just finishing up a few smaller projects first 👍
these videos are perfect for me, i really appreciate that someone posted these exact videos for the r/t challenger, though mine is a 2014 not a 2010, i was wondering if i would have to take anything into account if i was going to follow through these videos as a sort of tutorial to perform these upgrades on my own challenger thankfully mine is also manual.
Extremely well put together video. I have a Barton shifter on my Challenger. I wouldn't have it any other way! A that's a fact, Jack! Keep it going!
I went through Hurst and Barton.... Barton FTW.
Ironically just read Marc’s comment about adding the SRT exhaust to his RT. I am getting SRT manifolds, cats and cat back from a hellcat installed in a couple days and am super excited. That Barton shifter looks stout! Cant wait to see how you build up this one.
Send me a clip after you get it done I want to hear it! 👍
Awesome, this build is going to be exciting!
I hope so, glad to have you with us! 👍
The only video that matched my 2012 Challenger SRT. Thanks!
I installed that shifter and I love it!!!
It is good, especially once it loosens up a bit!
Yes definitely, at first it can be hard to shift, once it’s broken in u can’t miss gears ⚙️
Like butter 🧈
I installed mine last year, this year while driving I found a noise in my shifter. I opened it up and lost post of those retaining pins that hold the shaft forks. So Warning, make sure you lock them into place fully. I had to order them online because dodge local didnt carry them. Not a big surprise, it's not really something that would wear out. Just me being a dumb ass and not ensuring they were locked in. However, this shift is day and night different than the stock shifter, more positive feel and easier shifting all around. Great Video!!!!!
Great video! I have watched several of yours so far and I appreciate the content and the knowledge! I’m a huge fan of the Gen 3 HEMIs and many of the vehicles they power. Looking forward to learning more from you. Thanks for putting out this content.
Shifts amazeballs, hits hard azfuq.
Then, during the cam swap, he finds a lifter getting ready to go on vacation.
Tune in next week...
Should be fun!
Great video. I put a Barton Shifter in my 2015 Challenger SRT 392 and love it. It gives you SO much more confidence in the 2nd to 3rd gear shift!. And as you said, it helps a lot in just knowing what gear you're in. BTW ... the centering springs will loosen up a little and the 4th to 5th shift will get a little easier. Oh ... and take a look at Speed Dawg shift knobs. The extra size and weight of the Speed Dawg knob makes the Barton even better! Does your project car have a Skip Shift Eliminator? Very easy mod that's well worth it for city driving. Sorry for the ramble!
I have not yet done the skip shift mod, but it's on the list! Thanks for watching 👍
Replaced my factory shifter with the Barton set up a few years ago. It was an improvement, but it wasn't a so called night and day thing. Biggest annoying issue is the skip shift. Definitely get rid of that.
I think someone previously did get rid of it, because it hasn't been an issue on this car. 👍
I run a full SRT exhaust on my '12 R/T Challenger w/manual trans. That's everything from factory shorty headers and SRT mid pipes with a 3" Flowmaster American Thunder cat back exhaust out the back. Low end is unchanged and it picked up a buttload of mid and top end power. It will also pass an emissions test with flying colors as I used factory exhaust parts with 02 sensors in stock locations. This car has never set a code after this mod, and I even went over to CA and had one of their smog test stations do an inspection on it just to verify "clean" running.
Other mods I've done are 180 thermostat, K&N CAI w/Airaid dry element, skip shift eliminator, clutch delay valve delete, Sultans of Spark high output ignition coils, NGK iridium sparkplugs gapped @ .060", Fastman 82mm ported throttle body, Pedal Commander, and a 93 octane tune from Diablosport using my i3 tuner definitely perked up the running of this car. A set of 20x9 SRT style wheels w/245/45-20 Goodyear Eagles puts power down through the factory 3.73 LSD differential, and cooling is handled easily by the stock fans which aree reset to lower temps for the 180 deg. thermostat.
All lubrication chores are nicely handled with AmsOil lubricants, and have used them since it hit 4K miles when new. It now has 122,600 miles and still going strong, and averages 23-26 mpg on the highway.
Keep us posted, that shifter looks like a great mod to do next on mine!
Very nice Mark, I'll be putting the SRT headers on this soon as well! 👍
@@ReignitedAuto you can usually find them on ebay for a good price, and midpipes are also available. Be advised the SRT manifolds are a real PITA to do, no room to work. Use the stock SRT exhaust gaskets, they work great.
Will be looking for your videos on this!
@@MM_in_Havasu yessir, I've got a set already from Ebay. I'll be removing the cylinder heads for a cam install, so putting the headers on then! I'm going to see if I can modify the stock mid pipes to work, we'll see....
@@ReignitedAuto stock mids will NOT work, way too small. Gotta get the SRT ones, makes it a direct bolt-on then.
i have this same shifter in my 2014 challenger rt although with a white ball and think it is great
I've been more and more happy while driving it!
Looking to install it on my Hellcat. This video is super helpful. I don’t like that plastic snaps though. Let’s see what happens.
Just installed one on my 2018 Challenger Hellcat and not impressed at the moment . It’s very stiff and clunky , getting into 5th is a challenge . I have rechecked everything so it’s not installed wrong , hope it gets better over time .
I felt the same way initially, but it does loosen up quite a bit and I was really happy with how it felt after a few weeks 👍
@@ReignitedAuto I emailed Barton for their opinion , will try and see if it gets better
Well, you just cost me $715 plus installation. Thanks!
One more 6 speed mod is to add 2 copper washer the detent plug in the passengers side of the trans. It's called the "anti venom" mod.
I haven't heard of that one before, I'll have to look into it.
one of the first mods on my M6 '14 Challenger RT. It has the Blacktop and Super Trak Pak so its loud and low already so I installed the Barton with the Mopar short shift handle. Its nice, but it really makes that (KNOWN DEFECTIVE BY MANUFACTURER) T6060 2nd gear even worse. The pistol grip looks nice, but the sloppiness is ridiculous.
I don't like having to guess which gear I just put it in 😄
Nice job.
Thanks for watching!
The person shifting clearly wasn’t you as he was not wearing your signature driving gloves.... That shifter is A nice mod something that will be enjoyed every time it’s used 👍
I knew I was forgetting something! 😄
Nice work
New version of the Hurst shifter
Wow, looks much beefier than the stock linkage. Wish my Durango was manual!!
Try and get your hands on a original style hellcat hood ( like my Durango rt ) 🤘🤘
Would be nice, but outside my budget currently 😄
I wonder if he ever took it back apart to plug the outlet wire back up?
Thought I put that in the video, but if I didn't I must've jump cut the clip where I plugged it in before putting it all together.
One can’t buy the the stock shifter that was taken off anymore. Nice mod dawg.
Do you have a part number, I see they offer quite a few different kits.
Where can i order it?
Nice install and review, are you still stading behind your final words after driving it for the past month? I'mstill on the fence about it...It seems to be too notchy and tight install of a buttery feel that I would like...
Absolutely. I'm more in love with this shifter now than I was before. It makes driving this thing so much more fun. However, buttery shift feel does not describe this shifter 😄 It is definitely notchy. It's loosened up a fair bit now, but it's still what I would consider very positive feel. 👍
Am I the only one that thinks the stock shifter feels good?
Probably... I've hated the stock shifter ever since I first got my Chally over 4 years ago.
In our 2013 dodge challenger with a 6.4 motor.. Hubby had a short shift in it.. Like 6 months after we bought it new. As soon as we went to pick it up, it was making a gosh awful noise, clanging. Months went on and we took it back.. The strait drive transmission had a bolt missing on the strap that holds it up. They tried to blame it on us. We never even touched it. From there, 9 months trying to find out what was going on. We were in a rental that long. We ended up trading it. Come to find out, the dealership had canceled our warranty.. It had 17,000 miles on it. COME TO FIND IT, it had s bad crank. We had put down 3500.00 on it and paid nearly 20,000 all together. I was upset n crying for months. They did us wrong. Please some intelligent man in here, send me a reply as to what you believe happened. It has bothered me for years. Thank you so much!
looks like a great improvement!
So good, best money I've spent in awhile!
My hands gets a little sweaty and I’m slipping every now and then 😢
Is this the first episode of the budget challenger?
Yessir
@@ReignitedAuto bettt
The poor connector getting stuck....once had a 02 connector get stuck while installing the trans....needless to say i wasnt too observant (on a ranger too so it sucked big time) so i had it all in, ok plug in the 02....where is it. Looking looking o-o are you serious. Poor thing was just jammed in there. Trying to get things done half quick and beat the ''hourly'' clock made me make a decent mistake took some time to get it undone and fixed. Better to take 15 seconds and make sure its good than possibly hours.
I have almost the same story on a charger police vehicle I did cam and lifters on. Put the passenger side cylinder head back on, torqued everything down, raised the vehicle to reconnect the exhaust and plug in the 02 sensor. Where's the plug? Found the wires going directly between the block and the cylinder head! 😳 somehow when reinstalling the cylinder head the 02 plug found its way into the #8 cylinder and I never felt it as I was torqueing the head down.... Haha.
I'm about to install this, there are 2 set screws in the hardware kit for the shifter arm. What are these for?
I've had mine in for a few weeks, and I can't believe the improvement over stock! WOW!!!
Have you added 1-4 skip shift mod?
I believe the car already had it done because I've never had any issues with it not letting me shift straight into second.
@@ReignitedAuto
Look on the driver's side of the trans and see if the wiring harness plugs directly into a plug or if it plugs into a jumper-style plug. The jumper had resistor in it to fool the ECM.
Another tip.... Swap out tranny fluid for Transynd 295 fluid for butter smooth shifts.
How much it cost to pay to have someone do this labor
@ reignited I'm curious does installing a larger throttle body on a hemi 5.7 make a difference or is it a good mod to do. And would you recommend it with a cam upgrade
I don't think it's going to make a significant difference unless you are planning on making a lot more power than stock, say 600+
Cool thanks
He made it to mexico real quick to test the car🤫 he is not in texas
The border is open! 😄
It's dam noisy
