Put it in the box with the stock shifter parts. You won't need it unless you convert back to stock.

I bought an MGW shifter and lower box for a 2011 GS and found the shifting not much different than stock. Shorter shift but not a $500.00 improvement.

Can anyone who's installed the newest MGW in a c6 please provide some info..

Thanks..

Outer OEM boot are you referring to the boot attached to the center console?

So what exactly does the lower box DO? I have no issues with the current shift effort or vibration.

So there are 2 Factory Rubber boots, the one that bolts down with 4 nuts and then one that slips over the one that's bolted down. I was referring to the latter of the two.

If you are happy with your current shifter than there is no reason to change.

I had the old MGW shifter and I liked it better then the OEM one for sure but I did have some slight vibrations at certain RPMs when accelerating hard.

With the newest MGW shifter and the lower box combo, everything is smooth and vibration free. That is JMO.
