Looks like MGW is the one to go with. Will changing to this eliminate the skip shift or is that a separate thing.

Good choice going with the MGW. However, changing the shifter will not eliminate the skip shift. You will need to purchase and install a CAGS eliminator for that. Several vendors on the forum sell them and also can be found on flea bay for under $20

I installed the Modified C6 Shifter from RSD for $180 without the **** and love the look and feel.

Out of curiosity is the MGW a far better shifter than the B&M Ripper. I installed it last year, as one of my first mods, and really noticed a huge difference. Put a longer shift *** on it so I could just palm the 2 to 3 and 4 to 5. Works great.
