Default MGW 15% Shifter

Has anyone tried the Mgw 15% shifter yet? I have the C6 Z06 in my 98 now. Not much improvement over stock. I just can't decide between the 15% or 30% Mgw.

I went with the 30% in my 04, big difference in the way it shifts. Night and day. Heard from a couple people that have the 15%, it's a lot tighter and sometimes harder to get in certain gears. Good luck with your choice.

I got the 30% and love it.. I think the 15% is just longer to give you more leverage, but I like the shorter throw. George told me that if my wife was driving it much, I should get the 15%. Since I bought the 6 speed so my wife wouldn't drive it much, I went with the 30% and am glad I did.

Thanks for the input. I was kinda leaning towards the 30%. I am just not very pleased with the c6 z06 shifter, shifts are still too rubbery and vague.

I've had the 30% for a couple of months now. It's a nice shifter (very nice build quality). I find it a lot less stiff than my old Hurst, but it sits a little higher, which I don't like so much. All in all it's a nice shifter, but not massively better than my old Hurst. Just my opinion.
