Default Installed MGW today.

I installed my MGW billet shift box and shifter today and it is the best thing I have done to my Vette yet. Was having some issues with reverse and found oem shifter box bushing completely dry rotted and falling apart. With the MGW installed the car shifts so much better. Also love that shifter came with everything even some of the tools needed for install. Install videos on their site helped a lot.

Debating dropping the cash on one of these as well! I have a b&m ripper in it right now and actually love the notchy feel. But read countless good things on the mgw. The b&m does give me some trouble with 1st gear sometimes but I believe that's more the m112 than the shifter. Anyone else made the switch?? If so was it worth it?

I have an MGW shifter and although it is quite precise, it took a lot of effort and was notchy.

I tried the anti-venom mod with one washer, and now it is great.
