Default Need input on MGW.

I had an MGW on my 04 cobra and loved it. Now I want one for the GS.

My question is..... of the 3 choices. stock hight, standard, or tall. which of these givea you the best position. I have a large hand and find that the stock hight is a little low but don't want to buy the standard one and it be to high.

http://www.mgwltd.com/corvette_short..._shifter.shtml

Now, if I did go with the standard does the stock **** work or do I have to buy the 25 dollar **** from them?

I don't want to hear about other shifter brands bc I like MGW. I just want input on the 3 choices outlined above.

Thanks for your Time

Mike

Not sure the question, but I bought the standard shaft with the race handle.

If you are near Milwaukee you can try mine to see if you like it.

Stock uses the stock ****, standard and tall have a threaded shaft and you will have to use an aftermarket ****.
I have the standard with the MGW race **** and love it!

I also changed to RedLine trans fluid and I am really happy with the combo of MGW, race **** and oil.

I think you're looking at the "extra handle" (shaft) selection.
When you order the shifter it comes with whatever shaft you select in the pull down menu. If you're going to use your stock shift ****, select stock, if you're going to use an aftermarket **** or MGW **** select threaded - either standard or tall.
MGW also sells their gripper **** for $40, and their race **** for $55.

I have the same setup and love it. I couldn't be happier. There is also room for adjustment with the standard and race **** not to mention it feels and looks 1000 times better.
