I ordered one yesterday....you guys talked me into it. Got the OEM threads because everyplace I checked for aftermarket shifter ***** offered them in a variety of thread sizes.

^^^^Told ya the car feels so much better when driving it. Its weird but I feel it tightened up the driving, and mine was a little noisy at first but seemed to quiet down now?

Put mine it but haven't drove it yet. Seems tighter already though over the factory Hurst with short stick....just not as much slop. Surprised it's noisy as MGW advertises it as "the quietest shifter on the market."

Ok, I'm officially a believer. Finally took my car for a drive today and it's a noticeable difference over the stock Hurst with short stick. It took about 15 minutes of driving before I could appreciate the difference. Ordered a custom "WS.6" engraved shift **** for it too.

There is no bend in the MGW stick like most have so your reach will change slightly. It's not that big of a deal but I noticed it right away.

The Pro 5.0, and the old, original B&M do not/did not have any bend to them either, but the 5.0 had the serrated wedge at the bottom of the stick which angled it towards the driver.

I wish Summit had the MGW available, so I could use my Speed Card/bucks to get it.

I also used Lou's short-stick. The combo of both was a vast improvement over stock.

Got my custom **** in today. I ended up cutting the MGW stick at that little notch...lowered it a little over 1" and for me it's much better at that height.

The camera on my phone really sucks but you get the idea...it's a 2.25" ball and compliments my white face gauges. The letters are engraved and filled in.

I also have noticed (I think this was already said) you have to push over a little harder when going into 6th. It likes to spring over toward the driver and I have accidently hit 4th twice now while trying to get into 6th. Both times it has scared the **** out of me...hopefully it will losen up a bit. I had never done that with my stock Hurst in 12 years.

I have an MGW short throw in my c5 and it's awesome! I'm about to order their lower shift box too! Feels even better with the c6z shift ****!

Just got mine in today, I have a hurst ball **** as it stands, I don't know if I want to change it up to the H logo **** that came in the cars stock, I feel like that with the MGW would be sex.

I just put in a tick master with a monster stage 2 and an MGW shifter, it is definitely raping the old cartek clutch and pro 5.0.
