I hear a lot of good things about the MGW shifter.

Stay away from the Hurst. Had one and it sucked, although it was better than stock.

I have the MGW and I LOVE it! The quality and workmanship is outstanding! Very short, crisp throws; very precise!

The shifter is shipped with everything you need to do the installation except the tools needed to remove the console, and the "demon" key. They include the sealer and all of the required hex keys, as well as a CD with the installation instructions. Installation took <30 minutes start to finish.

I tried the C6 Z06 and while it is better than the C5 shifter it is a piece of $hit compared to the MGW.

I have the Hurst, did a bit of adjusting and it is perfect...
Smooth, short, precise throws...
No rattle...

MGW manufactures and sells it.

I have their **** as well, and I would recommend that you consider it.
