I have really enjoyed my MGW ****. Mine is the old version which I think they do not sell any more, but new ones look good too. Their website have pics.

Default Hurst shifter ball or T handle

I went with the original Hurst T handle from zrchris ( a forum member), who also sells the Hurst 2" black and white shifter ball that he threads to fit the C5 (9/16-18 steel tapcert.)http://http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotor...mZ360077844758http://http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotor...mZ270268401304[IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG]

My T handle has holes bored to perforate it to keep the weight down . Its powder coated black.

MGW - The handle is cool, but the shifter is even cooler!

Which is why we have the Delrin *****, because they do not transfer all of that heat and burn your hands in the summer.



Shown here on a stock shifter, a Hurst or similar will lower that a bit.

Same **** that is used in the race cars.
