Looking for some feedback on what my MGW shifter is worth.

What is the going rate for a used MGW shifter? No issues. I will include the stock lower box and aftermarket shift **** with it as well.

Would include:

-MGW shifter (aftermarket **** version)
-Stock lower shifter box
-Aftermarket shift ****
-Stock lower shifter box does NOT include the rubber dampeners that go on the bolt holes. Mine fell apart from age so I just replaced them with washers


The one on the right:


The lower shifter box shown here:


And this ****:

Sold mine with stock shaft for $175 in about 2 minutes on the forum. Probably could have gotten more but wanted to move it and help a fellow Corvette brother.

Gotcha. I'm hoping to get closer to like $250. I want to get one of the new style MGW's

That's what I did with MGW lower box and I love it.

they are 360 new. just got mine and love it. only problem is our cdn dollar is worthless atm so cost me 498

schpenxel

Nice! That is the one I want. If I can get ~$250 out of my current one I'll be fine paying the extra $110

Am I understanding it correctly that on the new design the entire stock shfiter and lower shifter box is replaced with MGW components?

rpmextra

Everything comes with it except the shaft that the ball fits in. On the mgw site there is video of the complete install. Very helpful for sure

schpenxel

Any other opinions? Is $250 reasonable for the shifter and ****?

Does anyone know the lead time for a new mgw setup?

rpmextra

The new versions come with the proper centering tool rather then eyeballing it. When I ordered mine it was ready to ship in 4 days. Got it in 5 days

What's the difference between the new and older versions? Is it really worth swapping?

schpenxel

Eh, questionable.. but to me, it is (if I can get $250-275 out of the old one)

The new version includes the lower shifter box (which includes new rubber mounts) while the older one uses the stock stuff. For me it's worth it because mine has the shaft for an aftermarket shift **** and I want to switch back to the stock ****.. and the rubber mounting things that bolt the lower box on to the torque tube fell apart, so I have just bolted straight to the torque tube now which ends up making it rattle a bit

So.. not a huge deal, and I'm sure I could buy just the shaft that accepts a stock **** cheaper than the ~$100 it'll cost me to swap to a new one.. but I want the new anyways, so I'll use this as my excuse
