Which MGW Shift **** do you use ?
I'm going to be purchasing a MGW shifter very soon and am trying to decide which **** to buy from them. I will be using my car as a daily driver in the spring , summer and fall months for 140 mile daily commute so i would want something comfortable to use. It looks like they have the " gripper" model ( kinda round ) and the race **** style. Just wondering what you guys have found to be more comfortable to use for street driving? Also if you have another idea to use with the mgw shifter other then the mgw ***** please let me know.

Currently using a modified C6 **** with my MGW shifter.
I made a custom Hurst **** to use with my Hurst shifter previous to the MGW.
I had an MGW pistol grip **** prior to that. They no longer make this model.
Before that, I had a Momo Combat Carbon. Not very comfortable.
I like the C6 the best of all these with the Hurst a close second.

Thanks for the great info Patches and the others. I was wondering if any-one had a picture of the chrome gripper installed ? The mgw doesn't have a picture of the chrome one installed in a car.

Im using a TWM shift **** on mine.
I love it, it almost weighs 1lb so it makes the sifter feel much smoother.

Just installed the MGW shifter on my 02 ZO6. Bought the race **** that has the chrome base and the chrome shifter pattern. Like this a lot more than the round (gripper) one. Have also tried the C6 ZO6 shifter **** and like this one too.
