Default MGW Shifter Vs. Pro 5.0
Hows the new MGW stack up against the desired PRO 5.0? Are the shifts as firm as the PRP 5.0 or are is it easier/lighter to row through the gears with the MGW? Anyone have any more info and pictures on the MGW?

it is firmer with MGW. and throw is shorter with MGW.

i used to love the pro. i would stand by it tell the end of time.

then the MGW come out. i would rather have stock then pro5.0 compared tothe MGW.

But what else other then the shorter throws on the MGW do you like so much about it, compared to the 5.0?

You have to call and ask for them, but they do sell them, as I have one in my Camaro.
