I recently replaced my previous MGW shifter with the latest version including the new lower billet box. Just when I thought this product couldn’t get better I found that shift effort is now extremely close to stock along with the expected MGW shift precision. The upgrade to the MGW lower box was well worth it.

A couple weeks later I was travelling through Georgia and was invited by George to take a tour of the MGW shop. The operation was very impressive, and included a glimpse of some really cool up and coming shifter products. While there I picked up a Corvette Race ****, which was the icing on the cake for my C5’s MGW shifter setup. This **** makes the entire setup exactly perfect. Shifts are even more comfortable with the added height and perfect hand fit.

George’s hospitality, generosity and outstanding products are much appreciated. If you are considering an MGW shifter setup you will not be disappointed.

Complete agreement...never met George but spoke to him on the phone. Could not find a more helpful chap and excellent product than MGW shifters.

Very very timely post! Just installed an MGW in my new 427 yesterday. Love it!
Great installation videos. The only question my buddy (who helped with the install) and I had was we could not find a sequence on any of the videos where the the stock box was removed. Unless we missed it?
In any event it's a Great piece. Even installed MGW's "Gripper" ball. Functional and great looking. Much better than the Hurst I have had in all of my previous vehicles. Here are a few pics.
Good stuff MGW!!!!!
