It is a holiday and maybe MGW is a small operation?

I just recieved mine on Wed. And put it in yesterday. It is a great shifter but it is very stiff lateraly, if you are getting one be prepared. On a plus note the 2-3 shift is an absolute no brainer, of you miss third with one you should't be driving. As far as contacting George they are on east coast time, but I sent him multiple emails and he responded to every one.

George, when do you think you will add this shifter's information to your website? Sound like this piece could sell well...

Curious to see how you feel about it (compared to the C6Z06) after
driving for a while. When in neutral does it line up like the stock unit (between 3/4)?
Thanks

Tom

All shifters line up b/t 3&4 in neutral unless you've done something horribly wrong in the install.

It still lines up in the normal spot, and after driving it around for a while my only gripe is reverse is a pain to get into and it lets a bit more noise come through than the C6 shifter. Other than those two things I'm really happy with it.

Just installed mine yesterday. WOW is all I can say. This thing is far better than the hurst I was running. It is shorter and smoother. It does take some effort to shift, but it seems to be getting easier. I don't know if it is breaking in or I'm just becoming more used to it. Either way I love this thing!!
