MGW shifter installed
Hello George at MGW shifters, well after waiting 6 months before I finally installed your short throw 35% C5/6 shifter (easy) and it is fantastic, no more mixing up gears and on my test drive truly did not want to come home. LOL, it is a different car. Thankyou very much and keep up the good work. Greetings, Rob (Edmonton Canada)

A (different) short shifter was the first thing I installed on my car. I could not STAND the stock POS.

One of the first mods I did on mine when I bought 4 years ago was an MGW shifter. Great shifter, money well spent.

Just wait until it "loosens" up a bit. After a few hundred miles, it just gets better and better. I've gone through about 1000 miles with it and I think I like it better every day.
