Default Do Any Sponsors Sell MGW Shifters/*****???

I'm looking to order the MGW shifter/race **** and would like to know if any of the sponsors sell them, or if you have to order it directly from the MGW website.

Thank you for the reply. Do you know which thread pattern I need if I want their race shift ****? I know it's listed under the "Vette" section on their site, but I understand it works with the shifter applicable to the F-Body. I've missed 3rd gear for the last time.

I was just on their site and both said coming soon. ive been entertaining the idea of putting a c6 **** on since every1 raves about them. only problem is they don't fit unless you modify them. I read a couple rite ups on them and it looks badass in the trans ams but I guess you have to basically twist it onto the shifter stick and literally make your own threads inside the ****. I was a little worried about not getting them right and ruining a $70 shift **** lol

I'm pretty sure the 12mm option will work with both of the shift ***** they have, even if it's listed under the Vette section. I'm going to check with them tomorrow.

Thanks for the review. I have not really read any negative things about the shifter. From everyone I know who has one, they say it's the best option out there. All I know is I'm getting really sick and tired of missing 3rd gear at 6500 rpms. I have put off doing this way too long. I wish it was one of the first mods I did.

Found out from MGW today that the Vette shift ***** will not work with the F-Body shifter in the 12mm form, but the 1990-2004 Mustang "Gripper Shift ****" and "Composite Race ****" will.

There's so many aftermarket shifter ***** out there that will accomidate any thread pattern you have. I have a MGW and ordered a custom shifter **** on the OEM thread size from epco.



I had the Hurst and MGW really outclasses it. I didn't think it would be a big difference but I really like it. Only complaint is you have to push over a bit harder than usual when going into 6th. I've hit 4th a couple of times till I got used to it. I also cut mine down a bit for a shorter throw.
