Oh man here we go again haha

HURST FTMW!!!! i love my hurst 50% shorter throw very firm and you know when your in the next gear...others will say that MGW and Steeda are better they are all good in IMO.

I drove my buddies 03' GT with the steeda and i didn't like it compared to my hurst but then again two different trannies and two types of actual shifters...

Well I guess I'm the black sheep (Baaahhhhhh), I got the Saleen shift block, its about 30% reduction, easy to install and only $100.00 if you buy it from Saleen (you may get it cheaper somewhere else). I like it AND I have NOT missed 3rd yet.

The MGW unit has the highest quality. It's tough to say which one someone will like better, as each unit will shift a little differently, and some have better adjustments than others. One only has to take a quick look at the MGW unit to see the quality in it's construction. Any decent name brand shifter though will be a marked improvement over your stock shifter. Just because I prefer the MGW doesn't mean that the Hurst is a crappy shifter.


Hurst does have a new shifter out that looks interesting, however.

The MGW unit: MGW Short Throw

The new Hurst unit: Hurst Billet Competition Plus
