MGW Shifter - Revised Unit Installed
I was recently able to have a few email conversations with George at MGW about the rattles I was experiencing with my MGW shifter that I installed in my 08 C6 several months ago. I am running the stock **** and wanted to keep it that way. I told George that I had tried every fix posted on this forum from silicone to foam to tape and nothing would stop the rattle. I thought I might need an oversize pivot ball as I know a few others have fixed their rattles in this manner.
What George decided he wanted to do was send me a Compete New Shifter Assembly built to his latest specs and also a pivot ball kit that contains both an undersize and an oversize ball. This was way more than I was expecting! All he asked for in return was that I send the old shifter back to him.
Success! The new shifter is rattle free and the buzz I always felt in the shift **** is completely gone. I did stuff a small piece of foam down into the ****, but I had this in there before. I left the pivot ball on that came on the shifter. Did not need to try the other pivot *****. With the latest design, shifting into 1st and also 5th is much easier than before. Ran it hard through the gears and all is perfect.
Thank you George for your Outstanding Customer Service!

I hope George will see this post and maybe share with us all what the latest design actually is.

Just put in my order
I just ordered my shifter this morning and am looking forward to getting it (not so much the installation, but from what I have read it's only the console that's a PITA). Glad to know I will (hopefully) be getting the newer version! And also good to know customer service excels!

One thing about George and MGW, they will back their products unlike most others. They want a perfect product for their customers and will go out of the way to produce it. I purchased from MGW many times when I had my Mustang Cobra, and MGW was fantastic as far as their products and customer support.

There have been non-believers, but everyone that has installed one are glad they did.
