MGW short throw shifter ordered!

For my new MGW short throw shifter that is. Can't wait to try it out at the drag strip!

Just had my MGW installed 2 days ago and I absolutely love it. Has to be a top 3 upgrade for all Camaro M6. The stock shifter just sux once you use this.

Yah, I was so excited that I forgot to add a shift ball to the order. Had to go back and place another order and pay another 10 bucks for shipping :(

It's on my "to order" list that's for sure. I watched a few videos on YouTube of the kit and love the way it operates.

MGW....freakin' ROCKS! I've had it for over 3 mths now. LOVE IT!

Top 3????? I don't know....it's a close tie for the first mod along side getting rid of the factory mufflers. That's a tuff one.

I've had mine for several months and am very happy with it. Just to let you guys know, the MGW shifter does have a "break-in" period. When you first install it, it's gonna be a little stiff and notchy. It keeps getting better the more you use it.

I've had mine for about 10 months. I installed it when my car only had 200 miles on it. It is by far the best shifter I have ever owned. You won't be disappointed. It definitely gets smoother after a short break in period.

Yes it does and after that period it rocks. I loved the look of the retro ball but found the shaft too tall so I called MGW and they sent me a really short shaft and it is awesome. I love the shifter even more after getting the new shaft and knob. I can't say enough about this product.

If you have a chance, can you post a pic of the short shaft? I like the gripper height and the retro ball SS.

thx
