Default Short throw shifter

I'm looking to buy a short throw shifter. And came across a shifter by a company called MGW. Just wondering if anyone had heard of them? Or has used them. It looks to be a quality part. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

This is the same shifter I'm looking to buy. I haven't read any bad reviews on it. Every thing I have read was good and the people that own them love them

I have it installed and it is WELL worth the price. No more mis-shifts, throw it into gear and GO.

Mgw makes a quality shifter, put one in my buddies c5 and only took 20 min. To install. Shifter was pretty tight at first but after some miles it broke in and felt great! I ordered one shortly after for my f-body .

Best shifter hands Down. I have a extra one for sale. Brand new in box. But I keeping the stick and ball. So I can interchange sticks. Best for Fbody smooth and precise engagement. Worth every penny

I have one in my 2000 z28 and overall it's very nice. Only complaint is when I first installed the shifter it was a little hard to get in reverse but now it's ok.

I have a Hurst pro billet shifter in my 00 SS and I got my wife a MGW for her 02 WS6 for Christmas and it is hands down better. Like everyone else has said it is very tight at first but man it is so much better than any other F body shifter I have used. Well worth the money!
