Default Is The MGW stiff

I dd my car an had the pro 5.0 an didn't like it for dd it just was to notchy around town, is the MGW like this or is it smooth. Im looking into either that or the billet plus, an also heard the mgw is hard to get into reverse, just want it to be smooth an not feel notchy.

i went from the pro 5.0 to the MGW, mine is neither notchy nor is it hard to get into reverse. i know people complain about those things but i havent had a problem.

personally i think its alot better then the pro 5.0.

i have the mgw and my bro has the hurst billet plus and mine goes into each gear more easily, as in is real easy to find gears . Now his shifter is easy as hell to move , mine take a little more effort to move it but it just feels so much better than his .

I love my billet plus. Ive had it for 4 years and I feel so comfortable powershifting into any gear. I've heard good things about MGW but I can't warrant getting rid of my Hurst for something I may not like. I suggest buying the one you can get for the best deal.
