New shifter

I am looking to replace the shifter in my 01 6 speed. I am thinking about the Snap Shifter or the MGW unit. Would like some input

I just put the MGW in over the weekend, and so far I love it...Its nice a tight and crisp, makes the car feel more solid. I have never used snap or anyother shifter though!

Probably asked somewhere else here but how difficult was the install?

Same here. Bought a whole assembly used on ebay for 90. Included shifter, ****, and boot. The boot is a nice visual upgrade as well as the ****.

I am leaning toward the MGW. I have a old Hurst "T" handle. I was going to drill out the hole and tap it to 9/16X18. I also like the shift rod that I can make a new one to my liking if needed

TPS,

The last image is the Hurst Shifter in leather, correct? $204.99? I sent PM, but then found this thread with images.....

Why is the unit used with a 2009 Z06 shifter, and not a 2011 shifter?

Thanks in advance....
