Default New MGW F-body short shifter
These seem to be popular with the Mustang guys. I've read several Mustang Pro 5.0 owners switching to the MGW unit and liking it better, so I thought I'd give it a try.

Looks nice, however it doesn't look like you've tried it yet since it's not in your car

I've run an MGW shifter in my Saleen and now in my Vette. They are top quality and the best I've used. George makes a great product.

I loved my MGW in my mustang. That thing was a piece of art and i hated to cover it up. Felt reallly good shifting too.

if you want a simple fix on your shifter... buy somehting like the UMI short stick. makes the hurst feel 5 times better

So is the height adjustable? I'm not a big fan of it being to the side..Is it like that or did you just take the picture like that?

I don't even see it on their website. Is this a prototype or are they just not listed.
