Mgw shifter

I've tried just about every shifter out. Mgw is hands down night and day difference. Sob lol my friend bought one and now I need to get one I liked it that much. Anyone want a pro 5.0 haha

Just posting this for someone who might be shopping for shifters

I've tried b&m pro 5.0, hurst, stock Hurst.

I do know the original shifter in the LT1 car was absolute garbage though. What makes it so much better specifically? Shorter throws or a better 2-3 shift? This is the first I've ever heard of this brand.

I have a non-factory Hurst and I'm completely satisfied. I think anything would be better than the stock shifter (except knockoff ebay junk).

I've also heard that the MGW is the best from people that have tried others aftermarket ones then the MGW... I've got a B&M in my car that came with it when I got it and it shifts super smooth and easy, like shift with 1 finger smooth lol. I've never missed a shift with it, but I don't SLAM through the gears like I've seen some guys lol. It doesn't look like the B&M ripper that I see in the pictures right now so mine must be an older model or something
