Default MGW daily driver shifter option nowe available>>>

hey guys,

i finally got the new bases in for our daily driver model of our short shifter. here are the details.....

if you are interested in the following you WILL want this model shifter...

1. you really don't mind the throw of the stock 2008 z06 model shifter or c6 shifter. just hate the sloppy mushy feel. stock throw on a 2008 z06 shifter is about 3.75 " from 3-4 gear. the MGW daily driver shifter is a 15 percent reduction in throw from that.

2. you do not have much tolerance for increased effort that a true short throw shifter exhibits due to the decreased leverage and / or have shoulder, back issues and cannot put alot of force on the shifter.

3. you do not really drag race but instead are looking for a more precise, slightly shorter shift throw than the oem unit.


you will NOT want this shifter if....

1. you want the shortest throw possible and effort is not really a concern. the MGW 30 percent reduction shifter is best suited as it really is not hard to shift but does require a biut more effort as it is twice the throw reduction of our daily driver unit.

2. you drag race alot or just want the most extreme positive gate shifter you can get.

as you guys know we initially did offer 2 shifter models back in january for the purpose of meeting 2 different goals. one for hardcore racers and one for occasional racers that use their corvettes as daily drivers. the issue was that they were too close in throw to really distingiush them apart.

with these 2 new models the differences are much more evident. i want to reiterate that the daily driver is a "mild" reduction in throw over the stock c6 z06 shifter so if you order this dont expect some night and day difference in shift throw but instead just a much more precise and smooth shifter experience.

so there you have it. no need to buy a z06 shifter now if you have a c5 or c6 oem shifter MGW has you covered



i have 45 units of the 15 percent in stock now and they are priced the same as our 30 percent 199.00.

regards
george

Any purchase credit for those of us who already have your shifter but would prefer this "daily driver" version? :

I'm sure you could sell your current one, hint hint.
I just got my Z and need to ditch the stock shifter. I was going to wait a month or two though.

George

Am I able to order the "daily driver" shifter online. I checked out our website & I didn't see an option for it over the 30% shifter.
