The Hurst was too much side to side effort...I have a messed up rotator cuff. How is the effort with the MGW?

The side to side is very stiff.. But george I am pretty sure can make it softer for you with some different springs... Just call him and ask...

How is this any different from any of the other spring-based shifters on the market? Hype?

Im pretty sure George said he can't do a group buy since he is just one dude and the cost of these is already as low as it can be without him losing money.

Come on guys...nut up already and just buy the damned thing. You are supporting an American running an American business. Just pay the extra $10 you save and boost our economy.

Out of all the lesser expensive mods I have done so far, the MGW shifter is the best of them all. The shifter is not only well made, but MGW (George) offers excellent customer service. The quality of the workmanship is impressive. You will not be disapointed
