Default MGW Shifter

Just got the MGW short shifter. The stick didint get any shorter but the throw really did.This thing is 20x better than stock.Centering spring is stiff as ***.Well worth the $219.

Some PRO 5.0 owners are claiming this to be a bit better!

Okay. I've driven a few different ones and so far preffer the B&M. None of my friends have ever had failures with them. How do you figure they are the worst?

Because they shift like **** plain and simple


When your power shifting and ripping gears like a bat out of hell you will want the best shifter on the market.

My friend's car has a Ripper shifter, I like it a lot. It's kind of a mix between the softer feel of a stock shifter and the notchy precise feel of a Pro 5.0.

I'd like to try a MGw shifter but I don't like how the stick goes straight up. It actually puts the shift **** even farther out of your reach (people say having the MGW in first gear feels like 3rd in other shifters... personally I want the **** even closer to me). Maybe MGW can include an angled shift lever if you ask, kinda like the one the B&M comes with?

Nope I just like to improve upon my driving with things that dont hinder it.


And since your such a good driver you wouldnt need to swap in a TH350 since your a driving god.

I don't feel that puts the **** out reach... Feels perfect to me.. I'm guessing that the orange piece puts the stick over enough to where it doesn't need to be angled. Best shifter EVER..
