I just did an a4 to t56 swap and i was looking to get a new shifter bc the one that came with the trans has a long throw and i was looking for something alittle smoother... Its a daily driver so im looking for most convenient

Any help would be appreciated

You're gonna get a lot of people saying MGW, i personally haven't had a chance to play with that so i can't attest to it. But i know before the MGW came around, the Pro 5.0 was regarded as the best shifter around, and thats what I've got (with the UMI short stick) i really don't have any complaints on it at all.

The Hurst that came on the ws6/ss is pretty nice for a stock shifter.

I have a PRO 5.0 too, love it. People do seem to like the MGW a lot though...

Pro 5.0 is a great shifter but makes a lot of noise, gets old fast on a DD. I went with the MGW great shifter and quite! Had Hurst, Pro 5.0 and have stuck with the MGW.

I bought the 5.0 back in 2008. I dont think MGW made a shifter for our cars then. I do like my 5.0 & partly because of the offset shift lever & it hits the gears pretty good, way better than the stock piece.

Here's the link to MGW,

I have the OEM Hurst shifter and like it. I bought it from zchris on ebay. It's made in the USA unlike the Hurst Billet Plus shifter which is made in china.

so the MGW is a short throw shifter? would i need to put the umi short stick on it like if i bought the 5.0 or is the MGW stick height already low?

I have the B&M Ripper Shifter and I have never had problems with it. Nice short throw shifter.

Pro 5.0 is pretty nice. I have an MGW and can tell you that if you are looking for a super smooth, little effort type of shifted, that may not be the way to go. I love mine and it is quiet and has a very short throw but it does require some effort to shift and is a little notchy in my opinion. A nice easy to use shifted would be a hurst factory style. Maybe their billet plus? Haven't tried one. I also haven't tried the B&M ripper but a lot of people like them. Get as many opinions as you can and if possible, drive as many cars with different shifters as possible before buying. Just my $.02

I've had the MGW and the B and M and I like the MGW but it is stiff and somewhat notchy. Reverse is a bitch at times but overall a great shifter. Takes a little more effort during normal driving but nothing major. I hated the B and M. Its a taller shifter. I haven't had a 6 speed Pro 5.0 but I had one in a T5 and I liked it.

I have a MGW and Love it. It was notchy at first but after awhile it loosens up and have never missed third since it was installed. My friend had a B&M ripper shifter and after he drove my car upgraded to a MGW.
