It's here!

Santa Claus er, the UPS man came just now and delivered my MGW Shifter - I know what I will be doing this weekend

It is really a precision piece. If it works as good as it looks, I will be ecstatic! The new cup was already installed! Way to go George!

Also included were the LS3 FRC's that Mike the Powdercoater did for my upcoming engine build. If you need anything powdercoated, you owe it to yourself to contact Mike. The quality is AMAZING! Thanks, Mike!

I'd like to see your write up on the shifter regarding differences including the added(if any) degree of difficulty in shifting. Thx.

Hea Shipmate, if I can do that so can you. Good luck.

Can you post a pix of the shifter BEFORE the install?

What shaft did you order? If it was the one for the OEM ****, is it the redesigned one?

It is the OEM (Stock) one. I assume it is the redesigned one - I wouldn't know the difference though - unless it is like Spin suggested and is tall as the Eiffle Tower

Hey, John. How does the boot look with that offset shaft? Do the "lumps" show or does it hide the offset bracket pretty well? I'm ordering one Monday and have to decide on either the straight or the offset shaft.
Thanks, Ernie

No lumps here...

The shifter is well designed and works even better then it looks.

Amazing quality and service

no lumps or bumps

The offset shaft does not create any lumps or bumps on the boot. It looks and functions great when installed. Like everyone says "this is how a Corvette ought to come from the factory".
