Curious about whether or not the MGW shifter includes metal grommets that replace the rubber ones of the stock shifter that holds the shifter plate to the frame. (Like the B&M unit does.)

Maybe the engineers were busy fixing the design problems with the roofs delaminating, the harmonic balancers falling off, the fuel system level sensing issues, the 2005's that wont start, the steering wheel that locks from the solenoid engaging while you're driving, the differential fractures on stock 2005's, the fact this thing wont go into 1st gear or resists going into reverse, the oil ingestion, or the active handling issues from the connector in the steering column.
No car comes with the top of the line parts compared to aftermarket parts. The simplest changes improve the car's power and performance for all cars. Why is borla or corsa in business if the stock exhaust is so good. Why is comp cams in business if the car comes with the best camshaft?
From air cleaners to shifters, GM doesnt do it best.

Why did I upgrade? The latest version does not use any springs for alignment, and it is easier to get into the 5th gear gate.
Most of the complaints on rattle I read about was with people using the stock ****. It's been addressed from what I've seen, but no issue for me, I went with their round ****.
