Short Throw Shifters - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hello,

I am researching short throw sifters for my car and I have a "company" issue. As in, whats the advantage why?

So, from what I can see, you have the following companies:

1. Hurst
2. Barton
3. TWM
4. MGW

the prices are all over the place so that makes it even harder. Can someone please explain to me the difference between them? Also, which is the more preferred and why?

Now I"m only talking about the short throw, not the entire assembly as I've seen TWM offer. OR, should I consider the entire assembly?

I'm essentially looking for help as in...what to get and why justify the cost.

Thanks

I would go TWM if you want a well thought out shifter, then MGW for the history of satisfaction. I personally had a TWM shifter on my SS/SC cobalt, and man what a world of difference. Precise, and direct throws without miss shifting. My choice is TWM.

I personally like the MGW the barton is a very high quality unit but i really don't like how insanely short it is.

MGW is my vote, excellent build quality, shifts excellent and customer support is outstanding. Love mine and is a complete replacement.
