Looking for recommendations for a shifter.
Car is mainly my DD with occasional track-time.
What have you got?

 

I enjoy my Hurst billet. Installed bronze shifter bushing at the same time.

Was a giant improvement over the factory non-hurst shifter.

 

it's all personal preference, no one can tell you what you'll like best

some people like a strong centering spring, some don't. some want quiet, some don't care. some like a long smooth throw for leverage, some like super short. some like stick angled towards driver, some don't. some want adjustable stops, some don't.

best thing to do is find people in your area and try them out

 

I have a pro 5.0 and like it. I also borrowed my neighbors B&M ripper and liked it also. Everyone says MGW isd the **** but never used one personally.

 

i have a pro 5.0 w/ lou's short stick and i love it. it is great for dd.

 

Like was said, its all personal preference. There is no 'best' shifter.

Ive driven cars with:
Pro 5.0 w/Lou's short stick (angled towards driver)
B&M Ripper
Stock Hurst/Stock Stick
Stock Hurst/WS6Store 6" stick

Out of all of them, the Pro 5.0 and the Stock Hurst/WS6Store sticks felt the best. I was using the stock crappy nylon bushing in all of them, but they shifted well. The Ripper felt ok, just seemed like the stick was too long, and the throw was as well.

 

Ive tried a few and out of the few I tried I liked the pro 5.0 for the feel of it. Just feels solid and smooth in every shift so Im got one for my car now

 

I'm running the stock hurst with the ws6 store stick. I like it. I have played around with my friend's pro 5.0 and in my opinion it was a tad notchy.

 

I have an MGW and love it. Drove my buddies GTO with B&M ripper and he hates it, I hated it... Only two aftermarkets I have experienced in these cars

IMO I would try and go to a local meet and ask who has what and try em out...

He tracks his car and I will also that is why I chose the MGW mostly for the centering springs. If you are just a DD I would save the $$ just get the ws6 short stick and maybe a nice ****.

 

MGW. I have never used any other aftermarket shifter but I don't really want to. The MGW is perfect in every way. The centering springs are ridiculous, it's very precise, a little quieter than the stock hurst shifter, and is just a very high quality piece all around. I mean it definitely requires some strength to throw it around but it just feels so nice. I went with the gripper shift **** they have with the 1-6 shift pattern on top and I think it looks awesome. It's like it knows what gear I want to go in, I don't even have to think about it anymore I just push the shifter up and pull it back. I have never missed a gear with the MGW, and it happened to me often with the stock shifter.

 

i feel the same with about my mgw . Its so much better than my brothers billet plus

 

Preferance is the problem...I run an aftermarket Hurst short throw that I cut an extra ~3/4" from the stick because I like it lower. I love it, very easy to down shift and find all of the gears and feels natural. My car is pretty loud so I honestly couldn't tell you if the shifter is loud. I really like though, it's the 2nd Hurst I've used (I used to have a V6 ) but the Hurst was great in that too!

 

i got pro 5.0 with short shifter , they both install when i bought the car, with mobil 1 atf, it shift smooth and I can shift it with 1 finger ^^

 

love my Pro 5.0 + WS6Store short shifter

 

Just got my MGW and enjoy it very well. I had the stock hurst and I use mine as a DD and rather enjoy it over the stocker..

 

MGW here, and love it. The more i drive it, the better it feels. Now saving up for a MWC 9"

 

MGW builds a very nice shifter! I'm an old Pro 5.0 guy since I've been selling them for years now but had customers complain here and there about additional noise after installing one.

 

Who sells the MGW?

 

Only MGW. http://www.mgwltd.com/camaro_short_throw_shifter.shtml

 

I like my hurst billet plus.

Only complaint is it puts your hand closer to the dash with the chrome hurst shaft
