I got one.. I didn't notice much difference in throw at all. I am coming from stock Hurst shifter with the WS6 store short stick to the MGW shifter. The only big difference I noticed was the left-right movement to the gears.

Had mine for 2-3 months and love it short and precise, you have to be an idiot to miss gears with it. My cousin drove it and didn't realize he was already in gear lol. Anythings better than stock, but MGW is awesome. It'll feel super stiff the first week or two but it gets much more loose.

I thought it was ridiculously tight when I first got it, but I don't mind it now.

Coming from a pro 5.0 with ws6 store short stick to MGW. IMO best shifter hands down, tight, short throws, and precise. If you can't tell I love mine lol

Another +1 for the MGW, came from the factory hurst to the MGW, biggest difference IMO was the center return.
