you're not strange. Several THOUSAND people feel the same way not including those GM/Hurst ones

MGW... will most likely be my next mod.

Those guys are top shelf.

I have a MGW shifter and absolutely love it, positive shifts, no rattles and not one problem.

I am getting the MGW installed at the Meet in Pougkeepsie Sunday, what should I expect after install? Is there any breakin that needs to be done or is it good to go?

Notneb · 10-25-2010, 07:09 PM

My MGW is sitting on the floor next to me, in it's box, taunting me!!! I gotta wait till friday to get it installed, this is worse than xmas eve....

Funny, after all this, I didn't have the extra scratch for the MGW. I actually went with the LSR performance short throw shifter.
It's beautiful, short, smooth, easy to shift, and quiet.
It has a solid 2" powder coated, drilled, and tapped ball bearing for a handle. Its sweet and real heavy.
I get an occasional slight buzz at different times, I don't think it is actually the shifter, just something trapped inside there. It comes at different times, I will investigate eventually, its barely noticeable.
On top of that the $139 price tag was unbeatable. That's 1/3 of the MGW price, and 1/2 tne price of the Barton, so right now, this was the best choice for me and I am very happy with the choice. I love driving my SS more than ever.
Thanks again Aldo!

I received the Hurst short shifter first, lots of play in gear and 3rd gear miss shifts a number of times. MGW short shifter quality is top notch, no miss shifts and Zero play in gear. Well worth every dollar. I would definitely recommend.

hp junkie · 10-28-2010, 08:27 PM

MGW all the way. Possitive shifts and never miss a third gear power shift. In my opinion $350 is a steal for the MGW!

buddylok · 10-29-2010, 02:30 PM

i wonder if MGW is coming to the 2nd Camaro5fest next year...

Notneb · 10-29-2010, 03:50 PM

Just had my MGW installed today by Jannetty Racing, and holy crap, it's like having a totally dif car, I don't know how I drove without this thing before lol!

Chewy · 10-29-2010, 04:36 PM

I have a BARTON & love it.

I tried the MGW & barton both at c5fest. both great products - but the Barton cost less, had a shorter throw, and i have heard zero bad reviews (nor from the MGW)

GenetX · 11-02-2010, 08:58 PM

Had the MTI and changing over to the MGW. I'll prob end up selling the MTI shifter

Notneb · 11-02-2010, 09:58 PM

Good choice, you won't be dissapointed
