Default I love it

I love the shifter. It defines what a manual shifter should be. I have a 2011 GS and tis was a major improvement over the factory shifter. Everyone with a M6 should have one.

I would love to weigh in here, but UPS just dropped mine off today and it's still in the box. I'll be on pins & needles as I follow these responses ... at least until I can get it installed and see for myself.

Can't think of a better investment for the money, would pay twice as much for it personally. Quality is 2nd to none and far superior to the stock shifter. Manufacturer backs up the product 110%, try it you will like it......

In fact, I couldn't agree more. I seriously can not imagine driving my car without it.

Default Want another one .......

Had it on the '07 and it made a major difference. George did the install himself at the factory. I plan on getting one for the '11 and having him do the install again. Good excuse to do the Dragon in the fall while my s/o is on a cruise with the kids.

Default MGW Shifter

I really like my shifter. It was the first mod that I performed on my C6.👍

I actually removed mine last week after having it in for about 8 months and maybe 1,000 miles. It's fine, but it will increase the notchy feeling of the shifter just like all the other short shifters I've had on my C5 and F body cars, and if I let the wife drive the car she doesn't care for it.

Probably going to list it for sale here this weekend.

I used the stock **** both times and it was perfect, great fit with OEM look, no added noise or rattles.

You ought to start a new thread with a poll asking just that question. It would be interesting to see the results.
