I am going to change my stock shifter and am deciding between these two. Anyone have experience with both and can guide to which one I should go for??
Thanks

MGW hands down!

Unfortunately I only have experience with stock C5, stock C6, and MGW. I was hesitant to go with an aftermarket shifter because my MN6 has always been a little tight going into 6th. When I finally did step up to the MGW, I did not notice any increase in difficulty shifting into gears. The MGW is a very nice quality piece with 35% throw reduction. I have not ever heard any one complain about the MGW and you rarely see a used one for sale. You will see a few used Hurst and B&M in the classifieds though - just saying.

I can have a hurst for 100 or an mgw for 250
Just want to know if mgw is better as it is 150 more in price

MGW is worth the extra money, you will not be disappointed

I have MGW in all my cars now after replacing the B&M and Hurst's previously.

Your call of course

OMG MGW rocks. Only problem is its too good and takes a while to get used to
1) not "pushing" into a gear left or right but letting it glide
2) its weird not having a neutral wiggle at all

Haven't tried the hurst, but I'm satisfied with my MGW. Notchier and a little more effort than stock, but more precise.

Can't comment on the Hurst as I have not had it. Have used my stock ZO6 shifter(modified), the C6 ZO6 shifter and now have the MGW shifter. Of the 3 shifters, I prefer the MGW. While it is somewhat stiff initially, it loosens as you use it. The 4-5 and 5-6 shifts are still tight but I rarely have to use#5 and #6 gears.

thanks for the input
i heard a lot of people complain about 5 6 gear and even reverse.
i do a lot of hwy driving so 5 and 6th gear are important.
i just bought a hurst off a forum member for 100 shipped.

i will try it out, if I am not satisfied I can always switch.

thanks for all the input

I went from stock to a B&M and on to an MGW last year. The MGW is by far a much better shifter. It was a little tight for the first couple of weeks, after that it was not a problem at all.

I was very happy with the Hurst right up to the point where the internals came apart at VIR on day one of a 3-day DE last June. Guess what one spare part was still on the shelf in my garage rather than in my spares box?

I have both. The MGW is more expensive but it is a much better made product. This is very evident side by side. Whether there is $100 difference can only be speculated on but the resale value sure makes the point that it is superior.
I replaced my Hurst with a MGW twice! Once for my track car and once for my cruiser.

What about the Callaway Shifter?
Gets great comments from Callaway owners.
