Default MGW Shifter

Apparently there was a revsion made to the MGW shifter a couple months ago according to some older threads I've found...anybody out there have a comparison of the old style vs. new? Trying to decide between the MGW unit and an MTI short throw. Opinions please...

Sounds like everybody is happy with their decisions. I think this will be one of the next items I tackle.

It has to be the single most thing I hate about my C5Z...the ridiculously long throw of the stock shifter.

I've also had the B&M Ripper and now the C6-Z06 shifter. How does the MGW compare? Does it have the same stiff notchy feel of the B&M (like all the other aftermarket shifters)?

I would like a shorter throw than the C6Z shifter, but I can't do notchy anymore.
