They do nothing to help the braking on the car and putting them on would on increase the weight as a separate mechanism would be needed to incorporate a parking brake.
My bone stock Boss 302's MT82 manual trans has not given me problems- like grinding or sticky clutch during high speed or spirited driving (knocking on wood) so it's not a widespread endemic issue IMO. I also have a few friends who have stock shifters & trans and no probs neither... they routinely autox or hpde occasionally too. The stock shifter gets a 8/10 rating for me so an upgrade to like the MGW will really help improve the accuracy and lessen notchiness. I do agree and hope the S550 improves on this.

And in regards to USB ports... all 2012 Boss 302 models did not come with it and same with base V6 units, nada. Only an aux jack and no Bluetooth neither. It's as no-frills/barebones as you can get. Has cruise control though... go figure.
