Default MGW Shifter

I got my first Corvette (C5) a few weeks ago. The one thing I disliked the most was the extremely "loose" feel to the shifter. Sometimes I would hit fourth trying to get into second because it was so sloppy. From what I read on the stock shifter, apparently its a common issue on the C5. I ordered an MGW Shifter and Lower Box and that 100% solved the problem. Not only does it feel so much better but there is no mistake while going into gear now.

Was probably it the skip shift making you hit 4th instead of 2nd.

It's possible I guess. Whatever it was, I don't have any issue getting the gear I want now.
