From what I hear MGW is the best, but its expensive. Hurst Billet Plus seems to be second choice. Mines still stock but im going with one of those two. (So im not speaking from experience, just what ive read on here)

well let me rephrase what i was saying, my buddy missed the 2-3rd gear shift with the hurst, and switched over to the pro 5.0 T56 and never missed, hope that helps

I went Pro 5.0. I liked it at first but now that i've seen what it's all about and i just dunno about it. Of course it could be one of those grass is greener on the other side things. I had a buddy break 2 Hursts so...it's just whatever ya like i guess.

Whats the cost on a MGW? I guess if its in my price range, i'll go the MGW otherwise i'll order up the pro 5.0. Do any of these shifters come with ***** included or do they use oem *****?

MGW hands down. Add CobraBob's gasket and you have a winner. I ordered mine with the 12mm thread which gave me more options for custom *****. Enjoy.

Never used the Hurst so can't give an opinion on that, but my car came with the B&M Ripper and I didn't care for it. Switched it out for a Pro 5.0 and have been very happy with that. Whats the difference between a pro 5.0 and an MGW? To be honest I haven't even heard of the MGW.
