I have the Hurst shifter and the only shifter I like better is the MGW, smooth as butter

Welcome to the club.. You will really like it. One tip, carefully cut the stock rubber boot to fit tight to keep down road and engine noise. I even added some foam rubber around the base to help.

Does anyone know if MGW is still offering the 15% version? I called but George is out today.

I saw a video of the MGW 30% that Kurtomac posted on here and I'm not sure I want that short of a throw. It may sound silly, but I like a bit of throw. It let's me feel like I'm hammering the gears...If that makes sense.

Just put mine in this past Sun. I love it! Even W/the 30% you still have a bit of a throw...Shifting from 2nd to 3rd is just unbelievable...what a difference. Tip: when removing the metal wedge in the top of your stock ****, try using a paint can opener & pry up in the corners.

I just put mine in last weekend, it seems to take a bit of muscle to shift, but the patterns are tight and crisp, 2-3 is awesome, and I LOVE this shifter!
