MGW installed WOW

Just installed my MGW and wow

this thing is smooth and precise, what a difference. I had the B&M Ripper. The vibration is gone, the noise is gone and i can actually get into 3rd without fighting it.

Anybody wanna buy a slightly used B&M Ripper?

Replaced my Hurst with one recently and sold the Hurst immediately. The MGW is a step up from the rest.

Interesting... I have a HURST and C6Z shifter, and am always looking for an improvement... Looks like I will be ordering one of these now.

The Hurst, MGW, Ripper and MTI shifters all play in the same league - the stock shifters don't even come close to that group IMHO. I have tried stock shifters since the Hurst and MGW and cannot imagine having to use one of those in my MN6. Just used to the firm, short throw.

MGW only does direct sales the last time I talked with them.

George is a great guy, just give him a ring...

I just installed a 2008/09 C6Z shifter to replace my 2005 C6 (non-Z06) shifter and I'm not really feeling any improvement. I'm always after a shorter throw and wouldn't mind getting one of these with one exception. I HATE the **** selection on the MGW. I LOVE my C6 ****. Does anyone know if I can use the C6 **** instead?

I think if I was going to do a mod, this one would be a great one to do as I'm not absolutely crazy about the C5 stock shifter. I think I'd like a stock C6 shifter.
