Ouch, just wondering. Kinda like when I go to buy a car, I don't tell them what they can sell them for, and I don't expect them to tell me how much I can afford...

Once you pull it out of the box and compare it to the OEM version you'll understand.

Workmanship is topnotch.

The function it performs is incomparable. It's nite and day better, at least to me.

You'd probably be better off sticking with your stock shifter..keeping what you have.

Either that or shopping for something cheaper than the $250.00 MGW.

I went cheap and bought a B&M and them bought the MGW. Lesson learned, I now spend the extra up front instead of buying twice.

I went to a cars and coffee meet this past Sunday and a nice gentlemen in a JSB 08 Z allowed me to try out the shifter. WOW!

Sold me on the spot!

Placed my order today and cant wait till Thursday.



Sorry I am horrible with names, but I know you said you were on here. So, thanks for helping me burn a larger hole in my wallet.

I don't see how he can sell this quality piece as cheap as he does! The craftsmanship of this shifter is rare these days of China made junk.
