mgw shifter installed.
well got my new mgw shifter yesterday and installed it. all i can say is damn that thing is short!!! i have a pro 5.0 w/ a short stick on my trans am and this thing is even shorter throwing than that. it is literally click click into every gear. i like it but i would warn people that the left to right is pretty stiff and fifth gear you have to get used to getting it into. the quality though is outstanding. one cool little thing is that it came w/ a dvd w/ install photos to help you. i'm very mechanical savy so i didn't need to but for the other people who may be nervous to try this i was very impressed they did this. anywho just giving me feedback on this because as of late a lot of people have been looking into getting it.

no i have not. drove plenty of f-body's w/ hurst and b&m this is by far the stiffest shifter i have ever felt. but the clicks into gear are absolutely amazing it barely feels like you move it at all into gear.

MGW has a longer shaft available for about $20. It helps on the stiffness, but not enough for me. I got some light springs from Home Depot and now it's better. I still plan to do the anti-venom mod to hopefully make it even better. I posted more details - do a search on MGW and I'm sure you'll find a bunch of info. 
P.S. The Pro 5.0 I had in my 87 Mustang was better... and the Hurst Competition Plus I had on my '68 Vette was the best - but that was on a Muncie 4 speed and had outside arms.
