Default MGW Shifter

There is a relatively new shifter available for the C5/C6 made by MGW. I had one in my Saleen and it was a great shifter. Probably the best for that car. It's getting raves over on the C6 side so I thought I'd order one up to replace my current C6 shifter. They come in 25 and 35% less throw than the C6 shifter. I ordered the 25% for my car.

I'll let you know how I like it.

Will that shifter be as stiff as a Hurst?

I don't think the 25% will be. Check over on the C6 side. People are loving this shifter. Just thought I'd let the C5 side know.

I'll TOFTT on this and get back.

It's an amazingly well built piece. Much more substantial than the Ripper I had for a while. Professionally package and it even came with the tools and sealer. I'm installing it Saturday. I'll post up some pics of the install and post impressions.

Will it accept a stock C5 **** and a short C5 shift boot, or do you have to trade the pieces for C6 compatible ones?

I got the 35% shifter as a gift this christmas and I love it. It replaced my hurst which I loved and with the anti-venom mod done the hurst felt great but the MGW really feels better to me. Good luck and enjoy the shifter.
