I have the MGM, and am very happy with it. I did have to adjust my shifting habits just a bit, make sure I pushed the clutch in a hair sooner before shifting, but It's working out fine now.
Mine was quiet to begin with, but now has a slight buzz, that I don't notice when I'm really on it...
Great product and service!!

The 15 and 30 refer to the reduction in shift throw from the stock unit. So if you go with the 15% you will be getting a 15% shorter throw then what you have now and the 30% will give you a 30% shorter throw then what you have now.
From what I understand the 15% will have less resisistance when shifting gears. With that said I have the 30% and it is no hard to shift at all. I think George made the 15% for those who have shoulder injuries and our elderly brothers here.
If you looking a dramatic reduction get the 30%. Beleive me my 10yro nephew would have no problems shifting it.

After getting the B&M early last year, I wished I had gotten the MGM. Not that the B&M is bad, but the MGM construction appears better. Especially the elimination of the plastic grease cup which seems a little cheesy anyway.

I would assume you should have a choice between the two but when I ordered I just called in and told them what I wanted. That might be the best option if the website is not showing a choice.

Note; the Hurst shifter reuses the plastic cup on the shifter ball....

I wish MGW sold to dealers, but they sell direct to the customer only.
With all that is being said about the MGW, I think I will purchase one to try out.

I havn't tried any other shifters in my car, but through recomendations of this forum, I went with the MGW. Installed it today in my 05 C6, no problems or unusual noises noted after a 20 mile test run.
I'm Happy with it!
