MGW RACE SPEC shifter option available soon!!
Hey guys,
As I have stated in several threads , the MGW shifter is in my opinion the best combo of precision and smoothness and throw for daily driving , track use and autocross....
We have tried shortening the throw and "most" people had an issue with the notchiness of the shifts and especially the TR6060 from 2008-2013 cars had issues with 2nd gear grinding with too short of a setting.
Well the last few months i have gotten a BUNCH of emails begging me to offer a shorter throw more extreme shift setting because they love my design and lower box precision but want the extreme short throws of the HINSON.
While i personally will not run the setup because i road race mainly and want the easiest effort and smoothest throw i understand the market is there so i will offer it.
Some disclaimers....
The effort will be higher but still will guaranteed to be the least effort and smoothest shift for its throw due to the lower box.
If you have a tr6060 trans you MAY have 2nd gear issues. ( this was the MAIN reason we changed the throw back in 2008) our current design virtually eliminated this issue.
If you already have our shifter and box combo you can just get the upper shifter part for 195.00 .
I should have an initial run of 50 or so by end of february so if you are interested you can call 706-793-1770 and place an order.

Hey George, I have an older C5/C6 35% upper shifter that I was planning on installing in my 2016 (R8C penciled in for 3/3).
I have both the C6 oem and 9/16-18 threaded upper adapter portions, so I can use the stock C7 **** if I have to, but I love the Gripper **** that I've been using for the past few years. I was wondering if you have an insert available for the Gripper **** with the C7 7-speed shift pattern.
