Just installed MGW's short throw shifter and it is amazing!

definitely recommend it although the install was more complicated than I anticipated but I did it alone which could've been why. Had a couple questions about the install and called MGW twice and they answered immediately and gave me the info I needed, they were very helpful

Is that a pair of air force in the back?? Looks sick dude, how long did it take you?

martyhalmi · 10-03-2013, 06:27 PM

some air max's lol think it took around 3 hours but I currently have the flu so I wasnt working at full potential, this one step took majority of the time since I didnt have any help

Oh that's right air max haha. Nice job man. Did you have to do any work under the car?

95% of the install was me being under the car on my back, wouldn't say the install was hard but just that reaching everything you needed under the car was difficult

I want to try, but it sounds scary

The best choice for these cars so far. Got one in my 2010 and it definately gives you a much more connected feel. Problem im having now is i want one for my 13 zl1 but i cant get a answer from them whether it will work with factory shift knob.

I mean I'm sure I could do an oil change on my car but I'm not the most mechanically inclined and oil changes aren't that expensive and I don't want to risk messing that up but as long as you follow the directions for this you'll be able to do it

Yea I put mine in 2 weeks ago and its like driving a different car and if you put the race knob on its even better
But you are correct it is a bit of work my hands are to big

MGW provides 2 install videos right on their site. I already watched them through and am planning on using a lift (hopefully) when I install mine. I am sure jack stands would work too.
