MGW shifter

KIKa55GT · January 16th, 2008, 09:53 AM

Is a MGW short throw shifter worth it? How big of a differance is it over stock?

HMUSN · January 16th, 2008, 10:05 AM

yes it is.

it's the best shifter on the market in many peoples eyes.

it will be a vast improvement over your stock shifter.

GTsetGO · January 16th, 2008, 10:07 AM

yep. it and the steeda are probably the best ones out there

MikeD05GT · January 16th, 2008, 10:08 AM

Nobody ever mentions Hurst in these threads (besides me). I have drove cars with the MGW, steeda, and had a Pro 5.0. IMO, the Hurst is by far the slickest shifter of them all. It doesn't have that "notchy" feeling that the other shifters exhibit.

MikeD05GT · January 16th, 2008, 10:17 AM

dude i asked u for pics and someone else put them up but i never got to ask you where u got it...that was originally what i wanted (the hurst) but i couldnt find it...

KIKa55GT · January 16th, 2008, 10:18 AM

Thanks for your replies guys, you really helped me decide on buying the shifter. Im definitly going to get it now and I'm going with MGW

You lost me on that one. I don't remember anybody ever asking me about it. Anyway, I think I got it from Ninosport, but it has been a while, and I am constantly ordering parts.

I was looking at HURST shifters, but I want to go with MGW because there are just to many people who perfer them over everthing else.

Get what you want, but most people on here are not even familiar with the Hurst.

very true. it wasn't even a mentioned consideration when i was looking for mine. though i was told to stay away from the PRO50

KIKa55GT · January 16th, 2008, 10:37 AM

You know what, I might just go with HURST now, but I'm not sure yet. Do you guys have any pics of the Hurst shifter and do you know how much it reduces your throw?

The pro 5.0 is the shortest shifter for sure, but you have to kick that fucker into gear.

It looks totally stock when it's installed (other than being shorter obviously). I don't know the exact ratios. Do you have any friends around that can let you drive their cars and try out different shifters?

MGW > everything else.

I personally have the MGW and i love it. Its the only brand ive had so i cant comment on the others. But, like AC said, it is a little notchy but not anything that your really going to notice and be bothered by.
