Ford racing is the hurst shifter. I have a MGW as well and love it. I know a lot of ppl that love the hurst though too. Either way its a major step up from the factory shifter.

shifter in the middle is the FRPP/hurst, shifter on the bottom is the new Billet comp/plus hurst. The frpp/hurst is a 32% reduction in throw from stock and iw stamped sheet metal. The new hurst is billet aluminum, has a 40% reduction in throw, has fully adjustable stop bolts and a new spring system that helps with shifts, it also has new bushing for mounting.

I have the new hurst in stock if your interested.

Shifter up top is the pro 5.0 if you wondering.
