Shifter debate please helpp.
Ok guys well I am modding the car like crazy and i want to get a new shifter I hate the stock ball on the C5 and i want a smaller throw.
So I heard the c6 shifter is the **** so I was going to order that. But now I find out people are saying the best ting around is the MGW shifter.
does anyone have the new version of the mgw. Also what **** do you have in it.
Please give me feedback on both shifters I want to order it this week.
thanks,
Edgard

There is no debate. I've run C5, C6, B&M Ripper and now MGW with the barrel ****. By far the best setup!
Give George a call. You'll be glad you did.
BTW: This is the only mod on my car. Other than that it's stock.

I've got a B&M ripper that I like a lot but I've heard great things about the MGW shifters from way back when before they made anything for the vette's.
If I had a legit reason to switch out the B&M I would try the MGW.

You can't lose. I went with used Hurst because people are dumping them for MGW's. For $100 or so it's much better than stock -- and you have almost infinite centering spring adjustability. You can also do the "antivenom" mod to deal with notchiness which I may do in the spring (but the notchiness seems to go away with time, probably just getting used to it).
So I think it's like like this:
MGW ($250) > Hurst ($100 used) > C6 ($50) > Stock
Like I said, you can't lose.
Oh, and I stayed with the stock ****. Cheap, ergonomically nice, cheap...

I had the same problem and posted a poll here: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-z...er-to-buy.html
Anyways I bought an MGW shifter a few hours ago, and a C6 **** to go with it!
