I had a stock hurst and it shifted nice but was pretty sloppy, maybe from years of abuse from previous owners? 6speeds inc told me it def contributed to my worn out syncros but who knows if that was bs or not. I switched to a pro5.0 and im not to impressed honestly and miss gears every so often with it. I think I'l try an mgw next, looks kinda odd to me but every one who has one raves about it.

. Otherwise I'll have to wait until spring/early summer when I actually get my car up and running again.I am replacing the stock shifter. So let’s hope it’s a lil’ better than that..
Also, there are reviews on the MGW on here, that's what helped me decide to go with it.

it sounds as if the MGW is the new way to go on shifters now. even a few guys on corvette forum have talked good bout that shifter. time to save up!

I love my Pro 5.0. My dad's B&M in his 04 GTO is a bitch, all clunky and notchy, but that also has to do with the shifter/transmission setup being different on those cars. I've personally always loved the feel of the stock Hurst; the throw is just a little bit long.
